Happy Friday! I have been getting a lot of questions from my followers around the DMV were have we been hiking so here are they. We are not experts, we actually just started loving hiking as a family last year. I just googled trails and if the reviews are good then we go. And along the way invested in some of hiking boots. If we can do the hike you can too!
1. Billy Goat Trail (Potomac, MD)
This is were we went hiking yeaterday for Mother’s day. We went to section A trail and it was a rocky ttail so I recommend you wearing hiking boots to prevent injuries.
2. Weverton Cliff (Knoxville, MDKnoxville, MD)
Thia trail is only almost 2 miles out and back but high, the hike is doable for first time hikers and once you reach to cliff, we you be relaxed with the view of the Potomac River.
3. Annapolis Rock (Myersville, MDMyersville, MD)
This trail we have been wanting to go for Fall as the colors of the trees looks good from this view as you can see here. The trail was not bad and families can go and they have rest room near the cliffs. We saw some rock climbers too.
4. Loudon Heights Trail
This hike was really a hike. Appalachian trail was not a joke this is a 7.5 mile hike out and back. It took us 4 hours to finish and it was us and the kids except Andi, we started out with hubby’s cousin and his wife but they had to go back down because they have prior commitments and we started hiking late. But it was also a breathtaking view at the top.
5. Maryland Heights Trail
This trail is good for families to a good 4 mile hike from Harper’s Ferry and once you get to the top of the cliff you will get to see Harper’s Ferry and the Potomac River. It looks so beautiful and I have seen pictures of it during the Fall and it was perfect.
6. Sugarloaf Mountain Trail
This one has so many grails to choose from depending on your liking from easy, moderate and hard and the view is also gorgeous on top as you can see here.
7. Patapsco Regional Park (Holliefield area)
This was our first mini hike during the pandemic. This one does not have a top view compared to all of them as we went down to the river were you can see the view of this nice bridge and it is near a railroad. We really enjoyed it there amd you can bring your swimsuit to if you just wanna get a tan. A lot of people are doing it. I should have done it because my tan line was a t-shirt. Lol! We really enjoyed the relaxing scene so we stayed for awhile and we we got home my tan lines was a T-shirt.
So if you do not have plans this weekend, you might wanna go for a hike. The weather will be nice for a Hike.
Simply,
Christianne
