Samodzielna wycieczka piesza po wodospadach przez Park Narodowy Great Falls

Przegląd

SELF-GUIDED AUDIO TOUR:
Amble along the cliffs overlooking the Potomac River, taking in thundering waterfalls, exciting rock climbing excursions, and the region’s most perilous kayaking spots. On this self-guided audio tour, you’ll have an opportunity to explore a few hidden gems found on the Great Falls Park trails. I’ll also show you one of my favorite, wilder paths at the national park - all guided step-by-step through GPS.

You’ll see that there’s much more to Great Falls than its viewing platforms. I’ll point you in the direction of the areas tourists don't know about, including views of hidden waterfalls, the region's best rock climbing and rappelling spots, and a route along the canal and through an abandoned colonial-era city. There are also several opportunities to go off-trail to get up-close with the rapids at the falls.

This tour can take up to two hours and, while it’s not especially strenuous, it’s plenty exciting!

Note: Parking at Great Falls is not included.

Czego oczekiwać

Park Wielkich Wodospadów

Great Falls Park – trzeci co do wielkości wodospad w Stanach Zjednoczonych i jeden z największych parków narodowych, do których można bezpośrednio dostać się z Waszyngtonu. Dzięki przepustce samochodowej o wartości 20 USD (nie zawartej w pakiecie Viator) będziesz mieć pełny dostęp do rozległych terenów i szlaków Great Falls Park. Pakiet Viator obejmuje wycieczkę audio z przewodnikiem krok po kroku, w tym mapę pieszą synchronizowaną z GPS w telefonie, a także wycieczkę z narracją z ponad godzinnym komentarzem na temat Great Falls i jego ukrytych skarbów.

Rzeka Potomaku

Ikoniczna rzeka, która płynie wzdłuż słynnych pomników Waszyngtonu. Ta rzeka przepływa przez Wielkie Wodospady wzdłuż dramatycznych klifów, wzdłuż których turyści mogą wędrować. Ten odcinek rzeki jest szczególnie dziki i tylko ekstremalnie zaawansowani kajakarze próbują go przepłynąć. Na szczęście ta wycieczka daje widok z lotu ptaka na heroiczne spływy kajakowe na poziomie rzeki.

Wielkie upadki

Trzeci co do wielkości wodospad w Stanach Zjednoczonych. Trzeba zobaczyć, jeśli jesteś w okolicy Waszyngtonu. Będziesz mieć 3 różne platformy widokowe dla tych niesamowitych wodospadów. Będziesz także miał widoki na Mather Gorge poniżej wodospadu, a także widok turystów próbujących niebezpiecznych klifów Billy Goat Trail i zjeżdżania na klifach rzeki Potomac, w tym Romeo's Ladder i Juliet's Balcony.

Great Falls Park

This is a SELF-GUIDED Audio Tour of Great Falls National Park. The self-guided audio tour begins at the Great Falls Visitor Center. Great Falls Park - the 3rd largest waterfalls in the United States, and one of the largest national parks immediately accessible to Washington DC. With a $20 vehicle access pass (not included in Viator package), you will have full access to the extensive Great Falls Park grounds and trails. The Viator package includes a guided step-by-step audio tour, including a walking map that syncs to your phone's GPS, as well as a narrated tour with over an hour of commentary about Great Falls and its hidden treasures. To ensure an ideal self-guided tour: Because cell phone service can be less than ideal, please download the VoiceMap app and Great Falls Tour before entering Great Falls Park grounds. When using the VoiceMap app, please enable GPS/Location to enable the GPS triggered tour.

I had a great experience with the self guided tour. I had no data/cell signal and this guided tour was spot on where I was located. The Geo sync spoke up when I reached each of the highlight points. As for the park, the views were amazing. I never knew all the details of the Potomac river. The first animal siting was a deer right at the entrance. The 2nd was a woodpecker. The third was an eagle sunbathing, staring right at me 20 feet away. I was in awe of the beauty and majesty. Side note, the park like many others has litter throughout here and there, not real bad. so, bring a bag with you and pick up as you go. the next ones behind you will appreciate the beauty even more. Better yet, do not leave anything behind, leave no trace folks. I loved the park. I followed the River Trail and Gladisville Trail per the guided tour. Great job.

Audio tour was nice! Excellent for first-time visit and made the hike very interesting with the extra info and history. I would have seen the various things he pointed out but would not have known what they once were without the audio tour. Doug's voice and speaking style is perfect for the location. My only concern was the 6-hour delay in receiving the download code from TripAdvisor. Luckily, Doug responded quickly when I reached out to him to provide the code while I was driving to Great Falls. Best to download the audio tour ahead of getting there as cell data coverage is very bad in the park area. Although the hiking route is not arduous, it is over rough, rocky land so be prepared to scramble a bit. I will use this audio tour company again!

Highly recommend - Lots of fun. We saw kayakers go down the biggest waterfall ! Just enough adventure and "off-road" feel to be exciting but not unsafe. The audio tour breaks up the trail with interesting background on the sites. Great Falls is always a fun visit, and this tour added a new dimension by showing us the less touristy trails. Download the app before you arrive (app: Voicemap). Cell phone service was not great (no pun intended) once in the park, and we wasted 5 minutes trying to get the app to download until we had service again. They give you a tour code to enter, and that gives you access to the tour. We took our 1 year old - carried him in a backpack style carrier. Not stroller friendly. Also saw lots of dogs, so definitely dog friendly.
