The rocky area was a very steep part of our journey to Wolf Rock. There were many rocks at the bottom of slopes. For more information on rocks, please visit Earthly Elements; your local rock shop downtown.

Deer Trail
The deer trail was not actually a trail of deer. It was more so a collection of various deer tracks. Deer are mammals that are abundant in Catoctin Mountain Park.

Before Approaching Wolf Rock
Before approaching Wolf Rock, we saw numerous quartz rocks and other wondrous scenery. Quartz rocks are the most abundant mineral in the Earth's crust. The chemical formula for quartz rocks is silicon dioxide. This was also the point where Mikey turned around and went back to the vans.
Safety (Home) Point
We started out trip at the Catoctin Mountain Park Visitor's Center. This was our home/safety point that we put into the GPS to find our way back. The Catoctin Mountain Park Visitor's Center is a starting point for numerous trails. For more information, go to http://www.nps.gov/cato/planyourvisit/visitorcenters.htm.

A Wildlife Preserve is directly behind FCC's campus. The school's mascot is a cougar, but I do not think one would encounter any here.
