The Billy Goat Trail is a hiking system located within the C&O Canal National Historic Park near Great Falls in Potomac (Maryland). It is divided into three sections. Section A is a difficult strenuous hike that involves climbing up a rock face. Pets are not allowed. We did not do that one. Section B is a more moderate hike. Ty and I did not do that one either. We opted for Section C. It is another moderate hike, but considered more pet and family friendly.

We parked at Carderock Recreation Area, parking lot 2. When we reached the trail head, there were two ways to go. Left went down some steps and across a stream. We went right. When the trail ended, I walked the towpath back to the parking lot to complete a loop.
