Leader: Genevieve Wall Visit Maryland’s oldest state park! From the banks of the Patapsco river, we’ll set off uphill along the Cascade Trail, hugging close to the stream at first and then returning on the uplands side. Along the way, we’ll pay close attention to the progression of summer, as well as the wildflowers, trees, mammal tracks and signs, birds, or reptiles we encounter. We will cover nearly three miles on natural surface trails, which include a couple of steep uphill/downhill sections and some rocky terrain. There is a $2 entry fee per car to enter the park.
