Preserving Natural Treasures: Removing Graffiti from Wolf Rock 

Catoctin Mountain Park, Maryland

The area along the Catoctin Mountain ridge in Maryland is a popular hiking destination, offering spectacular views from Wolf Rock and nearby Chimney Rock. 

By 1900, a sightseeing trail extended from an old wagon road to reach these two outcrops. By the late 1930s, nearly 30 miles of foot trails led hikers to these places of scenic and geologic interest.

Until recently, graffiti on Wolf Rock altered the views of this iconic feature. In April of 2018, the Mid-Atlantic Climbers organization teamed with Catoctin Mountain Park to access and remove graffiti from the surface of Wolf Rock.

You can read more about the project, the park, and the cultural landscape of Catoctin Mountain Park in the full article:

Here’s a spellbinding shot of this week’s snow at Catoctin Mountain Park in Maryland. With 25 miles of hiking trails, popular trout fishing streams, great camping spots, horseback riding paths and beginner skiing areas, Catoctin is as fun as it is lovely. Photo by John Zuke, National Park Service.

CSX Engines Crossing Catoctin Creek Bridge, Frederick County, Maryland, 2017.

One of the oldest railroad bridges still in use in the US. It is parallel and similar to the aqueduct carrying the C&O canal across the creek. Indeed, the railroad, built slightly later, was a (the?) major reason the canal was never extended beyond Cumberland and across the mountains into the Ohio drainage, the original intention.
