Loop in Little Bennett Regional Park

My pardon to any entomologists, but usually when a hike advertises "ants" as the big thrill, I don't expect much. So we went into this one not sure what we would get.

This hike was taken from the PATC book for DC area hikes, part A. Overall, it is almost 10 miles (we made it 10 with a slight add-on to the campground). As advertised, there are Alleghany ant mounds, but there is also varied terrain and a few other sights along the way.

However, the ants did turn out to be pretty cool. I like this photo for its sense of scale.
