Details
Please read the full description.
Join me for a rewarding 6 to 7-mile, moderate to moderately strenuous hike through the beautiful woodlands and rolling hills of Loch Raven, with two stunning water lookout points along the way. This loop hike from Morgan Mill Trail to Gunpowder Falls has frequent elevation changes - a solid workout!
Please note that this is not a beginner hike due to distance, elevation gain, and pace. Please let me know if you have any questions.
Optional drinks/lunch afterwards at Inverness Brewing (6200 Markoe Rd, Monkton, MD 21111) - 15-min drive from the trailhead. Alternatively, Iron Horse - TBD on the day!
