Great Falls National Park!

Cost: Parking pass and entrance fee: $20/week for a vehicle or $30 for the annual park pass ($80 for annual all of America’s national parks access)

There are two sides you can enter from: either Virginia or Maryland. We went through Maryland.

The hiking was fairly easy with flat terrain and great views. There was a bridge that lead to an island and it allowed us direct view of the water and to be honest it was quite scary how fast it was flowing and how loud it was.
