I've hyped this before, but go to the Virginia side of the Potomac
and stand there at their lookout park and gawk at Great Falls.  There
might be kayakers surfing the waves and maybe even some running the
falls too, but the single most impressive part of the lookout is the
notches in the pavillion showing where the various record floods got
to over the decades.  You're a long ways away from the river at
normal flows and those benchmarks are pretty impressive.
