Appalachian Trail ... Hiking the Maryland Challenge ... Below Raven Rock Overlook

(Gallery Has Three Pictures)

Appalachian Trail climbing stone steps below Raven Rock

The hill here is climbing up to Raven Rock from Raven Rock Road, and it is quite stony, and consequently the trail builders enjoyed a lot of raw materials for making these nice stone steps I climbed in autumn.

The view can sometimes have a bleak beauty in winter in the mountains.

Next to the trail there was this intermittent waterfall that was running fast and hard that winter.
