Great Falls National Park on Potomac River in Virginia USA
At Great Falls, the Potomac River builds up speed and force as it falls over a series of steep, jagged rocks and flows through the narrow Mather Gorge. The Patowmack Canal offers a glimpse into the early history of this country. Great Falls Park has many opportunities to explore history and nature, all in a beautiful 800-acre park only 15 miles from the Nation's Capital.

Verified traveler

The people in McLean were not too friendly. Maybe its just the culture. Probably won't be returning. Ive been to much friendlier cities.

5/5 - Excellent

Not as familiar with McLean but definitely will be on my radar from now on.

3/5 - Okay

Site was chosen in part due to proximity to relatives in the area. It is a very corporate/business environment, with an affluent mall in 5 mins walking distance from hotel (including a Starbucks & a Corner Bakery).

5/5 - Excellent

The dining options were amazing. My family and I ate at a great Thai restaurant less than a mile away. All of my other family ate at other restaurants nearby and everyone had great meals and service.
