There are many great hikes in and around the Baltimore area which offer great views, a healthy challenge, and a pleasant escape from the stresses of school. No experience is necessary and everyone is welcome! Past trips have gone to Gunpowder State Park, the Appalachian Trail, Catoctin State Park, Washington
