Catoctin Mtn Park: Two Rocks and a Vista

  • 10 Aug 2024
  • 9:00 AM - 2:00 PM
  • Thurmont, Maryland

Registration


Registration is closed

5.2 miles, Level 5 rating. Suitable for intermediate to advanced hikers.  Mostly a moderate trail with some strenuous ups/downs along a rocky terrain. You'll be well rewarded with stunning overlooks, panoramic views, and unique rock formations.

 

Located in north-central Maryland, Catoctin Mountain Park is part of the forested ridge-range that forms the northeastern rampart of the Blue Ridge Mountains in the Appalachian Mountains System.

The park features sparkling streams and panoramic vistas of the Monocacy Valley that include Thurmont Vista and Chimney Rock.

The Thurmont Vista, with an elevation of 1,502 feet, is a relatively short steep climb with views to the east of the Frederick Valley and Thurmont.

Chimney Rock is at about 1,400 feet in elevation and looks out to the east over the piedmont region. 

Wolf Rock, a prominent outcropping of Quartzite with fissures, fractures-crack systems, blocks and faces, provide opportunities for scrambling if you choose to do so.

 As with all WWO hikes, there will be a leader and a sweep, and no one will be left behind.

After you complete your registration, you will receive a confirmation email with additional event details and start location.

There is limited space, so please register early. Although this hike is FREE for Premium Members, you do need to register.
