@steveo: Here in DC, there used to be a guy that biked, canoed then hiked to the CIA for 20 years. His coworkers started following him and there was a club. The hike was steep I'm sure . the banks of the river are like 200+ foot cliff overlooks by parkway there. https://www.adventuresportsnetwork.com/sport/paddle-sports/canoe-kayak/declassified-cias-canoe-pool/
