But what about once-in-a-lifetime hikes in Maryland? If you’re up for a challenge (or just want to complete a portion) then check out Great Allegheny Passage. This picturesque trail is worthy of any bucket list.
While most Marylanders know that the C&O Canal runs from Washington DC to Cumberland, fewer are aware that a famous trail actually extends further from its supposed end point.
If you were to combine the C&O Canal Towpath AND Great Allegheny Passage, it would be a total of 335-miles of non-motorized route. Trekking all the way from Washington DC to Pittsburgh is a bucket list feat, indeed.
