A photo story

Backbone Mountain, Maryland

I stood at the Backbone Mountain sign, the high point of Maryland, in June 2025. It had been a wet day, with more than half an inch of rain, and at the sign it was around 67 under a heavy sky, with a little drizzle still in the air. The day before I had been at the New River Gorge Bridge, about a three and a half hour drive west.

The sign marks 3,360 feet, and the high point is a short walk rather than a big mountain day. I got the photo at the sign and called it good.
