Scrambling fun! Great Falls, MD Billy Goat Trail

Billy Goat Trail A is a FUN rock scramble, but is subject to flood related closures. I will keep my eye out for closings, etc. If all goes as planned we will complete Loops A, B and C along the C&O towpath and make a loop of about 7 miles. We will meet at the Ashland Food Lion on RT. 54 for carpooling and pull out at 8am sharp. Optional food stop after the hike for dinner.
