A stroll through an early spring woods in our region can be magical–with the colors and forms of unfolding leaves and stems of trees and shrubs catching the eye. In bottomland woods, there’s the added delight of spring wildflowers underfoot. Our leaders can’t wait to share one of their favorite places for this seasonal wonderment: the Monocacy Aqueduct on the C&O Canal Towpath near Dickerson, MD. Carpets of spring ephemerals and leafing-out trees will be celebrated as the group walks upriver—and then back—for a total of 2-3 miles. The Towpath is wide and flat, but may be muddy and rutted.
