This National Park Service unit offers pathways that traverse one of the oldest mountains in the country ( Catoctin Mountain). Here are 10 opportunities to commune with nature, geology, history and culture. Trails vary from easy to moderate, and, in a few cases, slightly strenuous, for the more seasoned adventurer.


Hiking can be enjoyed year round in Frederick County.
