looking for a good park/area near where i live that has a decent amount of caching

I'm pretty new to geocaching, and i'm looking for somewhere near where i live were me and a friend could spend a day geocaching, preferably with some nice scenery and decent hiking. anyone know of any such areas in fairfax, va or nearby?

As I live in New York, I have no specific caches to suggest, but I do have a couple of ways for you to find what you are looking for. If I'm looking for something like you are suggesting, I click on "Geocaching.com gogle maps" from any area cache page. Then, I poke around and read descriptions until I find something that suits my interests. Another method would be for you to go to the bottom of the list of forums here and look for a regional forum to get more specific suggestions.

Scott's Run Nature Preserve, overlooking the Potomac River is a favorite of mine.

Beautiful scenery, plenty of caches and several benchmarks on a 300+ acre park.

 

Start Here - Not So Mellow Yellow

 

Have fun!
