It's a little off the trail, but can be easily be reached by climbing over some of the rocks. Once the Potomac is reached, it offers a great up stream. Especially magically in the morning since the sun will be in your back. Cold mornings with warm river water will create fog over the water, again perfect time to take some amazing photos.
