Cranesville Swamp (Garrett County Maryland)

Swallow Falls (rightfully) draws large numbers of visitors each year to its wonderful falls and majestic hemlocks, but within a very short drive of the falls is the Cranesville Sub-Arctic Swamp. This amazingly diverse area was designated a National Natural Landmark in 1965. It sees few visitors and is a very peaceful place for a short hike. It is a must visit whenever we are in the area. This was a very early composite panorama attempt. The photos date from the fall of 2004.
