Catoctin Hike

· MWABA and Achilles are doing a joint hike on Sunday, June 29th at Catoctin Mountain Park, which is about an hour from DC. We’ll meet at 8:30 a.m. at the Medical Center metro. We plan to do an out-and-back hike (about 3.5-4 miles) to Chimney Rock, which is a fairly strenuous hike, but we can offer easier options for those who prefer that. Sign up here: kevin.andrews94

Thanks and see you out there!
