I have no idea where we are, haven't for hours. We watch him run off. A few weeks later I e-mail Meg. But our days are too busy for frogs or ferns. Our calendars are full of other things.
Hikers use the park's wooded trails and park roads.
The Perimeter Trail is also a bridle trail for horseback riding. The Pinehurst Branch area is a very pretty section of the park. You'll need a park map to find the connecting foot trails, but there's a nice wild walk here in the northern end that includes both the elevated Western Ridge Trail and the creekside Valley Trail. This 384-acre tract, previously called Dranesville District Park, has both wooded trails and more strenuous hiking paths along the Potomac River. Maps are posted throughout the park, which is unstaffed.
