    Tips

    Hiking

    High Rock is a park and overlook about an hour and a half outside of Baltimore and just off of the Appalachian Trail. There is a large graffitied rock (and surrounding rocks) with a great vantage point on the surrounding foothills. If you have the time, fill up a bag of trash because this local spot could use some love.
