Join me and our member Yazmin M for a Sunday afternoon hike at Windy Run Park in Arlington! Getting to the waterfall at Windy Run is a fun little adventure right in Arlington! Most of the walk through the woods is nice and easy, but we will hop on some rocks to cross a couple of streams and go down a set of steep steps alongside the 35 foot waterfall. Yazmin says: I usually take my time going down as my left knee can be achy at times :) The hike should take about one hour and fifteen minutes. Wear shoes with good grip, and bring a water bottle, and mosquito repellent. We will meet by the park entrance on N Kenmore street. Yazmin recommends you park on the cul-de-sac around 2455 N Kenmore St, Arlington, VA 22207. Let us know if anyone needs a ride from Metro, we'd be happy to help with carpooling. Hope to see you!
