A. T. Ascent To Annapolis Rock, Md, 05/23/09

For northbounders, the 2.2 mile stretch of the A.T. from the I-70 Footbridge parking lot to Annapolis Rock is the most heavily traveled section of the trail in Maryland. Hikers, daytrippers, and families are frequent on the 500 foot ascent, but the trail is wide and well shaded. This is a view of the trail north of the Pine Knob Shelter and looking north toward Annapolis Rocks. SoBo 1140.5. NoBo 1037.8.
