By Rachel Cooper, About.com Guide

The Billy Goat Trail at Great Falls offers spectacular scenery and is one of the most challenging hiking trails in the Washington DC area. The 4.7 mile trail runs along the Potomac River in Montgomery County from the Great Falls Overlook (near the Great Falls Tavern Visitor Center) south beyond Carderock, Maryland. See a trail map.
