A gently undulating ridge trail runs through a chestnut oak forest on South Mountain, leading to a pair of views from Black Rock Cliffs and Annapolis Rocks. On a clear day, four states are visible from these overlooks: Maryland, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and Virginia. Both of these spectacular crags include rock slabs, overhanging cliffs, small caves, tumbled boulders, and views that look west across a side farm valley toward Hagerstown. The jagged, exposed quartzite ledges at Annapolis Rock and Black Rock create much of the erosion-hesitant bedrock of South Mountain. This portion of the AT in Maryland is one of the most scenic.
