Great Falls Park [Virginia]



今日は、出張に来てはじめての休日。すごく天気がいいので、ホテルから割と近くの『Great Falls Park』に出かけた。国立公園になっている。入場料は、車一台あたり、$5で3日間有効。


Great Falls Park At Great Falls, the Potomac River builds up speed and force as it falls over a series of steep, jagged rocks and flows through the narrow Mather Gorge. The Patowmack Canal offers a glimpse into the early history of this country. Great Falls Park has many opportunities to explore history and nature, all in a beautiful 800 acre park only fifteen miles from the Nation’s Capital.
