Residents looking for more of a scenic drive to catch Maryland's fall foliage this year can do so by sticking to rural roads headed to Sugarloaf Mountain or Catoctin Mountain Park.
A drive out to Harper's Ferry is also worth a weekend trip — bonus points if you're planning on doing the Maryland Heights Trail.
