Downstream from Great Falls

Who: Skip
Where: Great Falls area of the Potomac River

Great Falls area of the Potomac RiverWhy: This place is just downstream of the Great Falls of the Potomac, 12 miles from downtown Washington, D.C. This rocky area forms a different type of flora from the surrounding area. There are also many types of aquatic animals as well, and the views are beautiful. This is where I can climb, hike, read a book, or just relax on the rocks.
