ADVANCEDThe Potomac, Falls to Mount Vernon
≈ 7,000 steps + 44 mi by car3.3 mi on foot · 2 days or more · + the walk in to 1 stopAdvanced III · 10 stops · 800 credGetting there is not the hard part.The hardest thing the capital holds: two days following one river from the gorge above the city to Washington's own porch below it. A car is required. The Olmsted Island boardwalk and the Billy Goat Trail both close when the river runs high, so check conditions first; the Great Falls area charges a vehicle fee and the last stop charges admission.
