Woznation

I still have no idea how to pronounce ‘Catoctin’, but thats where we went hiking. Its where Camp David is located and is about 1.25 hours northwest of Baltimore.  In the past we have gone hiking close to Baltimore and stayed pretty much at sea level.  This past weekend I was in the mood for some views and boy did we get them.  The first trail we did was to Chimney Rock:

Did I get my view, or what?!  This trail rivaled my other favorite trail of all time; coincidentally called Chimney Tops.  Apparently I like rocks.

Its the ciiiiiiiiircle of liiiiife:

The second trail we did was to Cumberland Falls.  I was already exhausted from the ~5 miles round trip of Chimney Rock.  But I was bound and determined to show Wilek the waterfall.  So we set out on the 2.8 round trip. Aaaaand after 1.3 miles we came upon another paved trail-head to the actual waterfall, haha (basically, we could have just driven there and walked .1 miles instead of the additional 2.6 from where our car was parked.  Oh well.)  Since the place was easily accessible, it was packed so we didnt stay long.  We tried to get Wil to splash around in the creek bed, but he had nothing of it and kept lifting his feet up for Phil to hold him.

I managed to get one picture without a ton of people in it:

It was worth the trip, for sure.  I hope to make it back to this park in the fall!!
