    Catoctin Mountain Park appears to be north of the Brunswick B&O Railroad Line end at Frostburg as line is cut north of Frederick towards Gettysburg. As we are driving up U.S. 15 from Frostburg MD and turn left on MD 550 that whole area towards Catoctin and Western Maryland Railroad. Railways Pen Mar Park including the Appalachian Trial is filled with railroad, Civil War, and more history from PA south to Hapers Fetty VA now WV and beyond.

    Interesting and nicely done video. Two MD National Parks that were not mentioned but are my favorites are the C&O Canal and Towpath (184 miles long from Georgetown DC to Cumberland MD) and Great Falls National Park. Great Falls is spectacular and has Class V whitewater. The Mather Gorge just below the Falls is also spectacular and a geological phenomenon. The Billy Goat Trail is a favorite and extremely technical and difficult hike/rock scramble along the Potomac just below Great Falls. You actually access Great Falls and the Billy Goat Trail from the C&O Canal Towpath. The Towpath is a great place to ride bicycles.
