Red rocks

We went adventuring on Saturday and discovered Red Rock Wilderness Overlook.

It's a small wilderness, but then we have a small girl. But it does have trees, streams, bridges, unpaved trails, steep cliffs with actual rocks showing, and even access to the Potomac!

Now that is exciting.

February isn't really its best and brightest. A few wild roses and clumps of grass and moss were just starting to sprout. The river bottom was all grayish and sandy, kind of blasted-heath looking. I think it gets flooded and not much ever grows down there. The woods are probably prettier in summer.

But did I mention it has real trees, hills, streams, bridges, and access to the Potomac??

I think we'll go back soon.
