Maryland's High Point - "Blackbone Mountain"

Maryland's high point is Blackbone Mountain at 3,360 feet. It was a little hard to find due to lack of big signs and its obsecured road on the shoulder of a main road. We finally found the "MD HP" sign and drove up the rough bumpy trailroad to a clearing not far from the main road and parked the car at the trailhead. It was quite a steep hike (700 feet vertical climb) on a dirt path/trail up to the summit which has a clearing which had a picnic table and a letterbox with certificates for reaching the highpoint of Maryland. It was about an hour return trip on this hot day.
