What a gorgeous and fun nature park! I ran through twists and turns and ended up down at the Potomac. I loved every minute of it!
I was staying in Arlington with a group of HS students and teachers. I wanted to run to the Potomac from where we were staying so I mapped out a route and was led to and through the Potomac Regional Park and am I so glad I checked it out! What a gorgeous and fun nature park! I ran through twists and turns and ended up down at the Potomac. I loved every minute of it!
