#236 Great Falls Park

Always a special day in this house, 9/4 was celebrated this year with a trip to Great Falls Park.

The Great Falls of the Potomac are a spectacular natural landmark near Washington D.C. managed by the National Park Service. Here in northern Virginia, the Potomac River builds up speed over a series of steep, jagged rocks and flows through the narrow Mather Gorge, producing the steepest fall line rapids of any eastern river.  Lovely.

Yours in admiring the Potomac up close,
Mary
