Parking: High Rock Loop Trail (start), Rattlesnake Run Road (end)



Directions:
This hike requires two cars. Leave one at Rattlesnake Run Road (more northern intersection in Pennsylvania), and start the hike at High Rock Loop Trail. Hike northbound.

Notes:
We finished the Maryland section of the AT today! We only had 3 miles left to do in Maryland, so we continued on to hike half of section 14 in Pennsylvania. We had another rocky section today - and I thought all of Maryland was supposed to be easy! We crossed the Mason Dixon line. I have lived in Maryland, but I never thought of myself as living in the south. The number of confederate flags we have seen this week has been disconcerting.

Ugh - another really rocky section. Where is my bubble wrap?
