Time is still ripe for a brisk hike or overnight backpacking trek on the 40 miles of Appalachian Trail that crosses this Mid-Atlantic state, mostly atop South Mountain.
Millie and I paid a visit to Washington Monument State Park this past week on a chilly, overcast April day. We had set up camp at nearby Greenbrier State Park, just a little more than two miles away along the Appalachian Trail.
