Leader: Stephanie Mason Nothing could be finer than a stroll through the bottomlands along the Potomac River this time of year. Spring beauties, golden ragwort, Virginia bluebells and more add new color to the forest floor, while overhead, trees and shrubs such as maples, oaks, cottonwoods, sycamores and pawpaw unspool their flowers and leaves. Our route, which is mostly level but could be muddy, will follow the River Trail from Great Falls, MD. We will move upriver along the floodplain and then return along the C&O Canal towpath for a total of around 2.5 miles.
