Impossible to manufacture, difficult to define and vanishing from the American landscape, but when you exit I-68 you'll know you've found it on the Mountain Side of Maryland. Just two hours from nearby metro areas, but a world away from commuter traffic and hectic city life. Come out and enjoy a home town holiday.

OK, shopping and dining are somewhat the opposite of Outdoor Adventure but they can be equally recreational on the Mountainside of Maryland.  If your idea of a laid back weekend is hiking through shop aisles or you take yoga to get a better look at the dessert tray, you’ve come to the right place.
