Great Falls National Park 2012

A few weekends ago I went for a hike in Great Falls National Park with a friend.
We saw a lot of wildlife: snakes, small birds, big birds, todds with suicidal tendencies (long story). There was one animal though who was kind enough to sit still for a couple of seconds to give me a great picture: A couple of five-lined skinks!


The following pictures are some impressions from the path along the old Chesapeake and Ohio Canal which runs parallel to the Potomac great falls. The historic-style boat you see below provides mule-drawn tours on the canal.


There are lots of things one can do in Great Falls: having a barbecue, site seeing of the falls, rock scrambling, or just enjoying a relaxing walk next to the canal.
