Sample text
The trail soon emerges into the open fields of the colonial estate known as Belmont, and there are long views across many acres of grassland. The trail runs along the edge of the field, and if you are quiet, you will almost certainly see deer grazing on wildflowers and grasses. Once the trail returns to the forest, bear left at the collapsing remains of an old house (the right fork leads to the Ridge Trail). The Morning Choice Trail again emerges into a field for a few hundred yards and then enters the forest for good.
Birds like vultures use the updrafts created by ridges to soar, while others, like sharp-shinned hawks and some songbirds, stick to the ridges during migration. The wind prunes tree limbs into odd shapes, and lichens grow richly on bark and rocks. Soils are drier, thinner, and more prone to erosion. The kinds of plants found atop a ridge are often different from those on the surrounding slopes. All in all, there’s nothing like a good ridgetop trail for an interesting hike! 1-mile ridgetop trail that ends at a level railbed next to the Patapsco River.
This is Buzzards Rock, so named for the vultures that once soared on the warm updrafts created by the adjacent cliffs. In the 1990s, most of these vultures moved upriver to the Oella and Ellicott City area. 7 miles. Note that the red-blazed Sawmill Branch Trail joins from the right in this vicinity. Turn left on South Hilltop Road and follow it to a small parking area. The footpath enters the forest again and begins to lose elevation. It becomes increasingly steep, until it eventually reaches the long-abandoned railbed of the B&O Railroad.
