Description Suggest change

The Led Zeppelin boulders are a small cluster of boulders that sit on the Potomac Heritage Trail just north of Windy Run Park. They are mostly easy climbing on decent rock, but there are a few hard problems on extremely high quality rock as well.

Because this area is right on a trail that hikers enjoy, please consider not bringing large groups, brush away your tick marks and chalk, don't listen to loud music and maybe try to be a good steward by picking up a few pieces of trash each time you go (there's always some). Just be considerate of the other folk on the trail and access to the rocks can remain uncontested.

Getting There Suggest change

To get there, park at the Windy Run Park parking and hike down to the Potomac River. When you hike down the steps by the waterfall, take a left to go upstream. Hike for about 10 minutes or so until you get to the obvious cluster of boulders on your left. While there are other rocks more spread out, most of the problems are in this one spot.
