Hoye-Crest is located on Backbone Mountain and is the highest point in Maryland (3,360 feet). The point is named after Captain Charles E. Hoye, founder of the Garrett County Historical Society. At the top, visitors will find a historical marker, bench, and trail register, which is kept inside a mailbox.
