Capital Region (Maryland) - Wink Travel Guide

The Capital Region of Maryland consists of the counties near Washington, D.C., which contain sprawling and densely populated suburbs, as well as numerous satellite cities.

There are sights to find off the beaten path. The largest is the Emerald Palace-like National LDS Temple in Kensington.

Rock Creek National Park is another reason why you would find yourself here—the long bike/running trail is great.

NASA's visitor center in Greenbelt is another great reason to venture forth from Washington, D.C. for a Maryland attraction. College Park is home to the University of Maryland's main campus.
