Itinerary description
Day 1 of 5 day trip with children on C&O Bike trail from Cumberland, Maryland to DC. Stayed overnight in Cumberland at a Fairfield Inn right at the beginning of the trail that was a great place. At the end of this day, we stayed at a B&B called the Buck Valley Ranch that picked us up at the end of the trail and dropped us back off the next morning. Trail grade is very easy, though occasionally the trail was muddy.
