Lapidum Rock Run Loop: We’re Here for the Bluebells Edition

It’s April, which means the bluebells are blooming on the Lapidum Rock Run Loop in Havre de Grace.

Max elevation: 287 ft
Min elevation: 15 ft
Total climbing: 934 ft
Total descent: -934 ft
Average speed: 2.84 mi/h

My hips are still angry with me, so we didn’t do the whole trail, instead making a precise strike on the bluebells, which are on the water-facing segment about two-thirds of the way from the beginning to the Deer Creek Picnic Area. I soared happily up and down the hills by the water, then we looped back through the farm, and the hips were baaaahhd. 🐑 Too flat.
