I know — Maryland isn’t exactly known for giant mountains. While states like Colorado have peaks that reach over 14,000 feet, our highest point measures at a humble 3,360 feet. That doesn’t mean it’s not fun to hike, however, or that you won’t feel accomplished when you reach the top. In fact, some people make it their mission to hike to the highest point all 50 states. Accomplish Maryland’s, and you only have 49 more to go. 😉
Maryland's highest point is known as Hoye-Crest, which is nestled right next to West Virginia's border.
In fact, to hike the trail, you actually have to start in West Virginia. Go south on Route 219 in Silver Lake, WV for about a mile. Park on the side of the road when you see a sign for Maryland Highpoint.
