This is a great, scenic hike along the west shoulder Quirauk Mountain to High Rock, arguably the best scenic vista in all of Maryland. High Rock can be accessed by car but the hike along this short section of the Appalachian Trail is well worth it. Beginning in Pen Mar Park where there are beautiful overlooks to start, there are great views over the trees to the prairies on the west all along the path as well. Such great views and scenery is attained with little effort as the hike is mostly flat all the way until the short steep climb to High Rock and the end of the route.
