The Hiking Trail Hiding In Washington DC That Will Transport You To Another World
There are definitely days that Washingtonians want to just get away. In the summer when it’s hot and humid and the city feels stifling, you might be tempted to disappear all together. Luckily, you don’t have to board a plane to feel like you’re in another land. All you need to do is head an hour into Maryland to the other worldly extended loop trail in Catoctin Mountain Park.
Catoctin Mountain Park is about an hour outside of Washington DC in Thurmont, Maryland. The Catoctin Moutains form the eastern rampart of the Appalachian Mountains.
The extended trail is a loop that combines all three major loops in the Catoctin Mountain Park. You will get to see some of the most stunning features and sights in the park.
You really do get to enjoy everything the park has to offer and you will forget that you are just a few miles away from busy cities and thriving suburbs.
As you hike at Catoctin Mountain, you’ll feel like’ve escaped it all and among the nature, the wildlife and the views; you may just want to stay a world away as long as you can!
