Sep 2006 - Washington DC
I went with Sharla and my brother down to Great Falls National Park. I was actually somewhat surprised. I expected the Great Falls to be pretty large. They're actually only a 60 foot drop, and that 60 foot drop is spread out over a horizontal distance of maybe a few hundred feet, so its definitely nothing like like Niagra. However, there are rock formations that make the falls beautiful rather than sheer size.
