Definitely an amazing asset that many people either think of as being pretty far away or don't realize how excellent it actually is. We saw deer, rabbits, bears, chipmunks, etc during a thoroughly enjoyable day of hiking today. Especially on hot summer days the altitude makes it cooler up there. Highly recommend.

Go out to McKee Breshers (left on River Road from Wisconsin Ave northbound, take river road all the way out past darnestown to the T in the road, take a left, and drive a few miles till you enter the reserve). Go in late march or early april. Bring a mycology field guide with you, and get ready to pick and enjoy the best wild grown hallucinogenic mushrooms in America. Seriously, the best. Also, an excellent place to trip." Mmm...that sounds like fun! Those shrooms aren't growing during these nice warm summer months as well? “1.
