40 miles of the 2,193.1-mile Appalachian Trail follow the western border of Frederick County, much of it along South Mountain. A popular place to begin exploring the trail is at Gathland State Park (see Civil War) near Burkittsville. The ATC Headquarters in Harpers Ferry, West Virginia features a relief map of the trail through all 14 states, interpretive displays, albums of thru-hiker photos, and scenic trail photographs.
