Great Falls Anniversary Trip

Temp and I went to Great Falls near Washington, DC.
It was really pretty, but super hot. Basically it's where Virginia and Maryland are split by the Potomac River.

Kayakers take on the rapids here, so we watched 3 guys make their way down the waterfall. It was kind of scary because this guy decided to go down the gnarly way and got stuck under the water for awhile.

Fortunately he made his way up and his friends came to get him.

His kayak was making it's way down the river, so his friend went to go get it for him while he tried to catch his breath. I seriously thought this dude was going to die. There was a poster in the bathroom saying 7 people drown a year here.

Just a landscape shot from the overlook. More artistic photos on flickr here.

My dad goes rock climbing there all the time. I always get a kick out of those posters on the bathroom "if you fall you WILL die!" supplemented by ill-fated stick figure illustration haha.
