Annapolis Rock & Black Rock Cliff Trailhead
Hiking area
πŸ‘πŸ‘ Great hike! Amazing views! Not crowded either, at least when I went. Pretty easy hike, with hills but they level out pretty often so you can catch your breath.

American restaurant
πŸ‘πŸ‘ This place is definitely off the radar. Amazing view from their outdoor seating and all the staff members that I've encountered were friendly. Food was great. I got their weekly special which was wagyu burger and it was succulent and flavorful. The sweetness from the pickled paprika was amazing.

πŸ‘πŸ‘ Best pick your own orchard in the vicinity of Northern Virginia. They grow dwarf trees so almost all the apples are easy to pick (no pole needed!). Good selection of apples and they're delicious. Orchards are easily accessible but it's big enough so that it rarely feels crowded. Huge selection of f...
