Barks and Blooms

You can find several monuments and attractions commemorating George Washington throughout the states of Maryland and Virginia. The Washington Monument State Park contains the first monument built for the first President. Built in 1827, this historic stone monument still stands proud near the summit of South Mountain´s Monument Knob.

Travel across the Inner Harbor in style with the Baltimore Water Taxi. This blue and white fleet has become an integral part of Baltimore´s rich nautical tradition. Instead of speeding across the harbor, you enjoy a scenic trip with a knowledgeable navigator, who can tell you all about the major attractions nearby.

Scale up a 44-foot high wall and climb over thousands of square feet of bouldering area at Earth Treks Climbing Center. Get plenty of practice for the real thing–although the setting may be artificial, the adrenaline rush from this recreational climbing experience is real.

Be swept away by the gorgeous sights and sounds of the Spirit of Baltimore. This cruise ship offers a variety of packages–wine and dine your partner and then dance the night away under the stars on the romantic dinner cruise, enjoy a casual buffet and some live entertainment as you see the sights on the lunch cruise, or take a themed or holiday cruise.
