Sparks Glencoe Travel Guide

Tourist Guide

The NCR Trail was once part of the Northern Central Railroad (thus the name), but the tracks were converted to a smooth, flat, crushed gravel trail to accommodate for cyclists, walkers, and runners. It covers nearly 40 miles, with 20 in Maryland and 20 in Pennsylvania. The trail is surrounded by breathless scenery, and the majority of it takes you through stretches of woods and farmland. My favorite time to go is on cool September evenings, when the weather is nice and the warm beams of light steaming through the forest and fields are perfect, just as in the picture above..

The breakfast was pretty good, if you do not eat beef or pork you have to request an alternative with either the front desk or with a food server. There wasn't too many options, only pork bacon, eggs and sometimes pancakes or french toast. The pool wasn't clean the first 3 days of my stay, so that ...
