With longer days and warmer weather, March is the perfect time to get back on the road and explore Maryland. Plan a road trip on one of Maryland’s Scenic Byways and take in the spectacular scenery, the culture and history, and warm hospitality of the places along your route. As the landscape turns green again after the winter, consider enjoying certified Maryland Green Travel accommodations, restaurants, attractions, and marinas. These businesses are committed to reducing their environmental impact.
