The Appalachian Trail travels from Maine to Georgia. The 40 miles of the recreational trail in Maryland crawl along the backbone of South Mountain, and are perfect for 3-4 day hiking and camping trips. Popular day hikes along the Appalachian Trail include Annapolis rock, Washington Monument, and Weverton Cliffs.

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.

Take a break from the concrete jungle at the smaller, 6-acre Sherwood Gardens. Located in the Guilford neighborhood, this public garden began as an outdoor hobby of John W. Sherwood in the 1920s and originally consisted of a few of his tulips imported from the Netherlands. Now, Sherwood Gardens contains approximately 80,000 tulip bulbs and hundreds of other plants collected from the gardens of Colonial estates.
