Guests can plan to visit part of the Great Allegheny Passage while visiting the Mountain Ridge -- book your stay today -- It's never too early to start thinking Spring, and we are having some great Fall weather for an enjoyable experience!

Because of its easy access and many amenities, traveling the Great Allegheny Passage is a sought-after, “bucket list” adventure that delights local users as well as tourists from all 50 states and over 40 countries annually. It receives around a million visits every year, and tourists drive tens of millions of dollars into the local economy. Upon its completion, the GAP was the first path inducted into the Rails-to-Trails Conservancy’s Rail-Trail Hall of Fame.

With its cool temperatures and “college town” status, Frostburg, Maryland is a mountainside oasis for Great Allegheny Passage travelers. Originally a stagecoach stop along the National Road, it was once known for coal mining, and its employers still include a major manufacturer of ceramic fire bricks. Today, it boasts a vibrant year-round arts scene.

Frostburg’s historic main street features a variety of restaurants, coffee shops, ice cream stands, pizza joints, boutiques, galleries, and places to stay. You’ll also see an 1897 hotel that contains a makeshift basement jail cell used during Prohibition.

From the GAP, an amazing bicycle-themed sculpture garden invites you up a switchback to the preserved 1891 Baltimore & Ohio railroad depot ­– now the last stop for the Western Maryland Scenic Railroad, which transports passengers up from Cumberland. Across the street is the Thrasher Carriage Museum, which displays one of the top collections of horse-drawn vehicles in the country. Dans Mountain, at 2,985 feet, is the highest point in Allegany County, and its peak (driveable by car) is a popular lookout point.
