Hiked up to Cat Rock yesterday. It was hot and hazy, but there were still some good views. From there, I hiked along the ridge until I reached the intersection of the Catoctin Mountain Trail before turning around.
Very nice short trail hike on a rainy day. The sramble up the pile of rocks was the best part. I also came across the meanest snake I've ever encountered along this trail. This snake was about five feet long and he lunged out about three feet from where he was coiled. He stod his ground and would not retreat. After about 5 minutes of watching him strike out repeatedely, I finally moved on. I'll try to add a pic of him when I find it.
