Hiking
This is an enjoyable, yet certainly heart-pumping, ascent/descent from Catoctin Holloway Road.
The underfoot is very rocky, so a decent pair of shoes is required, and the path is relatively low-trafficked so you can enjoy some peace and quiet compared to some of the other more popular destinations around the park.
