On Father's Day, daughter and I took husband out for a hike. We ventured out to Catoctin Mountain in Frederick County. We weren't planning on things being as crowded as they were. At times, it seemed as if most of the greater Washington DC area had come out to Catoctin to hike the trails and check out Cunningham Falls! Husband got an extra special present, too. He sprained his ankle coming back over the ridge on our way back to the car from the falls.

| We hiked over to the falls from the visitor center. Let me tell you, that was a pretty impressive hike over the ridge to the falls. There was a lot of uphill, and the ground was quite rocky - great for turning an unsuspecting ankle. |

| A not quite so rocky, not quite so steep portion of the hike. |

| The view up the creek to the falls. I thought this was prettier than the falls themselves. |
 |
| A very hot dog cools off in the water. |
 |
| Gorgeous, isn't it? |
 |
| Out by the parking lot, that little stream has calmed down a lot! |
