Is there sufficient parking for the Billy Goat Trail? Does the lot fill up by a certain time on weekends?

Riverbend is the name of the trail in VA. It's great, but it will be muddy. We did Billy Goat Trail section C. It wasn't too muddy. The entrance is at Carderock.

it will be VERY muddy

The Billy Goat Trail may not be open - it wasn't a week or two ago. I've also hiked Sugarloaf recently and all the trails near the top were covered with ice - between the elevation and the shade, it doesn't melt as quickly up there.

Sugarloaf Mt, Dickerson, MD
There's an easy trial and a difficult trail. Ends up at the same place on the top.

Agree with Great Falls, MD side. If you want more challenge, Billy Goat Trail.

Turkey run is great. Or the state park that connects to great falls va ...I forget the name.

Great falls, maryland side.

What light-moderate hiking can I do this weekend, that isn't too far of a drive from DC?
