This is a challenging and rewarding trail that exposes you to some of Maryland's finest natural spaces.
This 8.6 mile loop trail in Catoctin Mountain Park is good for both hikers and trail runners. This loop is the larger loop in the park, comprised of Cunningham Falls, Hog Rock, Blue Ridge Summit, Thurmont Vista, Wolf Rock, and Chimney Rock. The trail gets a moderate rating because it's mostly rocky, making for a little more challenging footing.
To get started, park at the Catoctin Mountain Visitor's Center off of Foxville road (see map) to access the trail.
Trail is accessible March-November and is dog-friendly.
