The NCR Trail was once part of the Northern Central Railroad (thus the name), but the tracks were converted to a smooth, flat, crushed gravel trail to accommodate for cyclists, walkers, and runners. It covers nearly 40 miles, with 20 in Maryland and 20 in Pennsylvania. The trail is surrounded by breathless scenery, and the majority of it takes you through stretches of woods and farmland. My favorite time to go is on cool September evenings, when the weather is nice and the warm beams of light steaming through the forest and fields are perfect, just as in the picture above..

"unreal! In the heart of Fells Point section - great restaurants, bars and so easy to get to the convention center. I had cocktails on the top deck every night when I came back from my meetings. I saved $300 a night staying here with $12 in Uber every day - even took the water taxi just to add a bit of cool to the trip!"
