Drive times are estimates
Mileage is straight-line distance from the center of Frederick. Real drive times depend on traffic, mountain roads, and your starting point inside the metro. For weekend mornings on popular trailheads (Old Rag, Great Falls, Maryland Heights), assume the lot fills earlier than the headline drive time suggests — check the trail page for the parking-fill window.
