This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at LUM chapter.
Being from Colorado, one aspect that I was nervous about losing when I moved to Baltimore was the opportunity to escape into nature.
To be clear, I have been pleasantly surprised by the amount of walking trails that are 10-60 minutes from campus.
Here are a few of my favorite:
Merrymill
- 22 minutes from Loyola by car
- Located in Cockeysville, Maryland
- Moderate
Oregon Trail
- 30 minutes from Loyola by car
- Located in Catonsville, Maryland
- Easy
Annapolis Rock
- 1 hour from Loyola by car
- Located in South Mountain State Park
- Easy/Moderate
I hope that you take a moment to grab your friends during the warm weather months and get outdoors! I have found it to be a nice break from the campus, and good way to get to know another facet of Maryland.
