Wolf Rock and Chimney Rock Loop in Catoctin Mountain Park
The Wolf Rock and Chimney Rock Loop is a scenic, moderate hike that offers a blend of rocky terrain and breathtaking vistas. As you journey through dense hardwood forests, you'll encounter two major rock formations: Wolf Rock, a vast rocky ridge, and Chimney Rock, a prominent outcrop that provides panoramic views of the surrounding mountains and the town of Thurmont. While the initial steep climb to Wolf Rock may challenge hikers, the path flattens afterward, making for a more relaxed journey toward Chimney Rock, where the rewarding views truly shine. #Hike #Loop #Mountain #Rock #Overlook #Forest #Nature
