OUTDOORS & NATURE F rom aerial adventures and bike trails to a ruggedly beautiful National Park and several urban parks offer-ing plenty of places to rest, relax and play, Fairfax County is full of spaces to get away. The bustle of Tysons Corner and Washington, DC are only a few miles away, but GREAT FALLS PARK in McLean feels a world apart. At this oasis managed by the National Park Service, you can walk along meandering trails past overlooks offering gorgeous views of rushing waters. The same Potomac River that’s a quiet backdrop in the nation’s capital is a spectacular, massive torrent of rapids and whitewater here. >> FXVA.COM • 27
