Great Falls Park


Today we visited Great Falls - a national park on the Virginia side of the Potomac river.  The Falls are a long set of rapids and there are three overlooks which give different views of the rushing water.


There were turkey vultures flying overhead.


We had a picnic on a shady rock overlooking the river.



The water level today was fairly low as rainfall has been low over the Potomac watershed which comprises Virginia, West Virginia, Washington DC and Maryland.
