Last weekend I made my second hike of the year. My friend Lineka and I drove up to the Billy Goat Trail to get starting on our outdoor adventure. Spending the afternoon outdoors with a good friend is one of the best ways spend my time.
It was the perfect day. We entered through Carderock, and The trail wasn’t too crowded - except for that crazy, unleashed greyhound that kept watching us, running circles around us, and almost knocking us over. Otherwise, we saw other hikers, families, fishermen, and people out for a lazy Sunday stroll. The trail was surrounded by the C&O Canal and an open, large park.
We forged through rocky waters.
We stopped to enjoy the view.
But mostly, we talked and laughed and enjoyed the afternoon. Everything I read said the trail was about 4 miles long, but we were only there for about an hour, so I assume we only did about half of the trail.
Finding such a quiet place outside the beltway was often be a nice way to escape the stress DC brings to many people.
That looks like Bigfoot country!
