Alternate week Hike: Billy Goat Section A or NOT (see text below)
Details
A challenging series of rock scrambles along the Maryland side of the Potomac River. See photo above - this is part of the trail! For anyone with questionable balance or fear of heights, this section of the hike is NOT recommended!!. NOTE: due to its nature, the Billy Goat loop will be limited to 5 persons. Hikers who have not done the Billy Goat before (or years ago) will be given preference. We will get to the Billy Goat trailhead from the parking lot across from the Old Anglers' Inn on Macarthur Blvd using the Berma Road and Woodland trails. Those who prefer a flatter return route in lieu of the Billy Goat trail can return to the parking lot via the sunny C & O Canal tow path or by the shady Berma Road trail.
Please note the early start time to ensure a parking space and to avoid the hotest times of day.
