On the coolest summer day this year, August 13, seven men undertook the hike to see the Great Falls in Potomac, Maryland. The weather was ideal with cooler temperatures and low humidity. At 8am, after meeting at the home of Brian Johnson, the carpool minivan arrived at the entrance of the National Park. It was so early that the guard was not there, but the parking lot was almost full. After walking past the C&O Canal Locks 19 & 18, the tour continued through the Great Falls Overlook Trailhead to Olmsted Island. The final destination was the Overlook overlooking the Potomac River at the Great Falls. The scene was breathtaking and satisfying. After group photos, the nice walk back to the parking lot was refreshing. Donuts and bottled were distributed to interested parties. The tour ended by 10am. It was nice to enjoy the hike on this very nice day.
