Billy Goat Trail

Billy Goat Bob:

Our hike this weekend was close to home, at the Billy Goat trail in Maryland. We parked at Carderock and hiked almost all the way to the Great Falls visitor center. We think it was somewhere around 6 miles round trip. This is one of the best local hikes around, with fairly strenuous rock hopping and scrambling. We started early, with some mist still hanging over the river, and no one around. And we had time to do a major leaf clean-up when we got home -- does that count as a double workout?!
