Well done, you! Super video. People don't quite understand why I am so passionate about Great Falls Park on the Va side. When you're standing at the overlook a day after a hurricane or a bloody big storm blows thru and the water looks like it's comin' straight for you, there's no vision quite like it in the real world. Remember all those early movies of trains comin' straight at the camera such that the patrons leaped to their feet to get out of the way? That's what it's like standing there feeling the rush of damp wind. I live 2000 mi. from DC now, and Mather Gorge and the Park are the thing I miss the most about the area where I lived for 48 years.

Thanks! I agree.
Sweet video! How do you access this vantage point?
Thanks! The video was shot from Outlook #1 at Great Falls Park on the Virginia side of the river. It's close to the visitor's center.
