| What is it? |
Catoctin Mountain Park preserves the wooded mountains surrounding the presidential retreat, Camp David! |
| What makes it beautiful? |
On a sunny winter day, you’d be hard-pressed to find a more peaceful walk! Guided only by the footprints of previous hikers, and the brilliant blazes on the trees, you cn enjoy the peace, quiet, and the unique rock formations like Wolf and Chimney Rocks! The views from the top are vast and far-reaching, but the highlight is really the sense of peace that comes from walking in the quiet. No wonder this park is home to a presidential retreat! |
