Next week is spring break, and Dad and I are heading out to the Sandpatch grade. Anyone have any suggestions for lodging, preferably close to or even trackside?
Your best bet is to stay in the Cumberland/Frostburg area. There is a big variety of motels at the LaVale exit off I-68 (just west of Cumberland) and a couple at the next exit west (Frostburg). You are within about 30 minutes of Sand Patch in either case. There is nothing of consequence in the way of accommodations along the B&O route between Hyndman and Meyersdale.
