Nothing could be finer during the last half of April than a morning stroll through the bottomlands along the Potomac River. By this time in the season’s unfolding, spring beauties, golden ragwort Virginia bluebells and more add bright color to the forest floor. Overhead, trees such as maples, elms, and cottonwood unspool their flowers and leaves. Our route—mostly level, but possibly muddy and/or slippery—will follow the River Trail from Great Falls, MD. We will move upriver along the floodplain, then return along the C&O Canal Towpath for a total hike of a little over 2 miles. REGISTER
