Journey Through Hallowed Ground Roll through covered bridges, over richly forested hills, and by picturesque towns little changed since this hallowed ground served as the crossroads of the Civil War. More than history, you’ll feel the memories rooted here as you paddle gorgeous Monocacy Creek, bike to the summit of High Knob, explore the battlefields of Monocacy and South Mountain, roam through charming small towns, and discover why this National Scenic Byway may cross state lines, but all the best parts are here in Maryland. 22 / VISITMARYLAND.ORG
