Trail: River Trail at Great Falls Park in Great Falls, Virginia
Distance: About 3 miles
My Rating: 8/10
So I love the River Trail! My dog loves it too. It was a beautiful day to hike: it was sunny and not too hot. Emily, Buddy (my dog), and I started around 2pm and we're done by 5ish. We stopped for lots of pictures and to eat lunch/snack.
This trail runs along the top of the gorge and there are lots of lookout points. If you are not good with heights, you may want to consider a different hike. There are some spots where you have to maneuver over rocks, so this is not great for little dogs. North River Trail is a fairly flat walking/running trail, I believe.
The best part of this hike is the views! There are tons of places to take photos, take a break, or have a picnic. It is a must-do for people looking for an easy-moderate hike with 50/50 trail/rocks.
