FIVE WINTER EXCURSIONS WITHIN DRIVING DISTANCE
BY DUFFY PERKINS
All of a sudden, the weather has turned wintry. And while some of us will use this time for a long nap, there are great outdoor activities within driving distance to get the whole family off tablets and onto the slopes.
Tubing at Liberty Mountain Resort Liberty has done us a service by putting in a lift so that you don’t have to hike up a snowy hill carrying a four-year old. They have hills for the littles as well as the big kids. Whitetail Ski Resort S’Mores Sundays Teaching kids to ski can often seem like a tug-o-war of epic proportions. Sweeten the deal by taking your kids to Whitetail on Sundays, when they offer free s’mores for all. Cross Country Skiing in Herrington Manor State Park With 365 acres, Herrington Manor State Park is one of the best places to enjoy the quiet peace of a winter wonderland. The cross country skiing trail is a beginner- friendly 5.5-mile loop that joins Herrington Manor and Swallow Falls parks.
Ice Tubing at Snow Flow Mountain in DC If you love the idea of winter sports but you really aren’t a fan of winter, Snow Flow Mountain at Gaylord National Resort in Washington, DC, offers indoor ice tubing. Sledding in Patterson Park, Baltimore Snow in Maryland can be hit-or-miss, but when it hits, the sledding in Patterson Park is great fun for the whole family. Located northeast of Fells Point, the park has great sledding hills and plenty of coffee shops and restaurants to warm up afterwards.
