Fort Washington and the Fort Washington Light.

We've visited this park twice so far and are so glad to have found it! It's a wonderful old fort with lots of artillery and buildings to see, trails to hike, and plants and wildlife to identify. On our first visit, back in July, we saw a bald eagle flying overhead, and on our most recent visit in October, we spotted a deer grazing along the hillside. We also got up close and personal with the lighthouse, which is a wonderful little light along the Potomac.

The photos below are from our October visit. I can't wait to go back in the winter so I can see how the view changes with no leaves on the trees!
