Hike on C&O Canal Towpath to Great Falls

Join the Sierra Club Potomac Region Outings (SCPRO) on Saturday, November 30 for a scenic 4-mile out-and-back on the C&O Canal Towpath to the Olmstead Island Overlook of Great Falls.

Hiking conditions will be on flat terrain with nice views of the Potomac River and Great Falls from the Maryland side of the river. Roundtrip will be 4 miles car-to-car. Participants will NOT need a National Park pass for this hike.

We'll meet at the Great Falls Parking (Billy Goat) across from Old Angler's Inn at 8:45 AM and start hiking at 9:00 AM. Parking is free but fills up quickly so best to arrive early! If you need a ride please self organize your own carpool.

This hike will go on [light] rain or shine. Take 1 liter of water, comfortable shoes, comfortable clothes, and snacks.

Note: SCPRO requests a $2/person donation to support our many volunteer-led activities.
