Great Falls Virginia Hiking Mixer Followed by Lunch at Old Brouge.
Details
Lets enjoy some beautiful spring weather alongside some lovely views of Great Falls followed by lunch. We will spend about 1.5-2.0 hours in the park then go to lunch. The walk does have some hills and it can be a bit rocky so having good shoes is important. Cell phone service is limited or nonexistent in the park. But call or text Ross if you can’t find us at 301 467-3310. Feel free to walk at your own pace and take lots of pics. The walk is mostly under the cover of trees.
