Join us on this 8 mile Howard County hike that employs both the Rockburn Branch Park and the Patapsco Valley State Park. The hike has a couple of stream crossings where poles are recommended, some sections of rugged trail, exposure to open fields as well as deep forest, and about 1,000 feet of ascent. Our pace while hiking will average 2.5 - 2.8 mph and there will be a 15 minute snack break.
