I don’t know about you, but I never seem to squeeze in enough adventures over the summer. Between insects and the sunburn, staying indoors always seems more appealing. So then when autumn arrives with its perfectly crisp weather, I make up for lost time.
Here is one fall activity in the area that’s worth going to. Make the most of the season (and experience the BEST foliage views) when visiting Walkersville Southern Railroad.
Walkersville Southern Railroad is an hour drive from Baltimore and trust me, the distance is worth it.

After arriving, you’ll board the train and choose your seat…

…or if you’re willing to brave a bit of chill, choose to sit in one of the open cars. This is the perfect way to experience the crisp autumn breeze while taking in the scenery.

The train ride lasts approximately an hour and ten minutes, guiding you along historic Monocacy Valley.

Pretty views of bridges, hills, and farmland await.

While this excursion is offered year-round, there is no time quite as beautiful as autumn. Book your tickets in advance to guarantee yourself a spot in the upcoming weeks.
