C&O Canal Towpath 📍

The C&O Canal Towpath is a rugged 184.5-mile trail that follows the course of the C&O Canal. This trail allows people to stroll, jog, or cycle between Georgetown and Cumberland, Maryland. Initially constructed for the mules that towed canal boats along the waterway, it has evolved into a well-liked recreational path for modern-day outdoor enthusiasts.

I was trying to figure out if the steep cliffs here were from GOB piles from coal mining but I think it's just where the Potomac River has worn against the steep cliffs over the years.
