Readers' Choice: Best Hiking Trail

We fancy ourselves nature lovers here in Howard County and as a result there are plenty of great places to take a hike.

Whether you're cruising on one of Columbia's many miles of pathways or Patapsco Valley State Park's trails, there are plenty of options throughout the county to go for a nice hike.

Columbia Patch wants to know where is your favorite hiking trail in Howard County? 

We’re relaunching Readers’ Choice; this time, we’re going to give youa few weeks to think this one through. Even if you're trying to keep your absolute favorite trail secret, at least share one of your favorites with others so they can explore a new route.

Let your friends know that we’ve put the call out on Patch.  Just leave a comment naming your pick by July 9. Then we’ll add all of the nominees to a poll and … let the voting begin!

Thanks for helping out local businesses.

Sign up for the Columbia Patch newsletter and we’ll let you know when the official voting begins, as well as keep you in the loop about news and events in Ellicott City.
