Some of the attractions of the state of Maryland, located in the Mid-Atlantic region, are the beautiful eastern shores of the ocean, rolling hills in the west, and convenient access to Washington D. C. A popular nickname for Maryland is "America in Miniature" for offering a little bit of everything. Within its borders, you'll find coastal destinations, waterfront cities, breathtaking mountains, historic national parks and maritime towns. Baltimore City is an exciting place to visit in Maryland, and its Inner Harbor is the center of the action. The National Aquarium in the Inner Harbor is the city's biggest attraction, and is filled with more than 17,000 species ranging from seahorses to sharks. Also in the Inner Harbor is the Top of the World, an observation deck that allows you to admire the city from a 27th-floor observation deck. The city of Annapolis is the state capital of Maryland, and the county seat of Anne Arundel County. The city is home to the famous United States Naval Academy. Annapolis became the temporary capital of the United States after the Treaty of Paris was signed in 1783. The C&O Canal, or the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal, was built in the mid-19th century from Washington, D.C. to Cumberland, a distance of more than 100 miles. Along most of the canal are trails that offer many opportunities for hiking, biking or just admiring the view. Off the coast of Maryland lies the barrier island of Assateague. This uninhabited island is divided, with half being a state park and the other half a U.S. National Seashore. The beautiful island is best known for its wild ponies, which make an impressive sight as they race along the sandy dunes of the shoreline. A walk along the Dune Life Trail is a wonderful experience, allowing you to admire the scenery, listen to the ocean waves and see the many birds that call the area home.
