NY Times - 36 Hours in Baltimore
Friday4 p.m.
1) INTO THE WOODS
Though you wouldn’t guess it as you enter Baltimore on Interstate 95, which passes port terminals and factories spewing smoke, the center of the city conceals a wooded, stream-filled oasis, the Jones Falls Trail (<a href="http://www.jonesfalls.org">www.jonesfalls.org</a>;). Once heavily polluted itself, the 58-square-mile watershed has been restored over the past decade and now features a green biking and hiking trail, which parallels the Jones Fall River and meanders through some of the old mills that once powered Baltimore’s economy. It is a rustic and historical look at a sometimes gritty city. <a href="http://travel.nytimes.com/2009/10/04/travel/04hours.html">http://travel.nytimes.com/2009/10/04/travel/04hours.html</a>;
