Decided very last minute on this cold but sunny Sunday to go for a hike.
Selected a river hike from our Falcon Hiking Maryland and Delaware, packed lunch, and set off.
To our delight, we are discovering a number of worthwhile hikes within 30 minutes of Columbia, this one to the west of Baltimore.
The trail follows the Patapsco river most of the way, starting with the impressive rapids at the trailhead, to the confluence of the south and north branches of the river.
Along the north branch, the river, strewn with boulders, slows to a lazy current showing off beautiful glassy surfaces reflecting the surrounding trees and sky.
The return, heading south along Tall Poplar trail, led us through a narrow wooded valley.
Total distance: 3.5 miles, elevation ~300 feet.
