Did this climb as the ‘warm up' for some of the other climbs up the Catoctin Mountain. There are multiple limited parking areas on the ridge; I used Sand Flats Parking with the group I rode with. Add Wigville road to increase the climb to 1.88 FEITS and avoid US15. Not much traffic on Catoctin Hollow, as compared to Hamburg.

This is one of the prettiest climbs in the area, even more so if you're able to catch it between November and April when the trees are bare. The challenge is getting to the climb; you have to ride on the shoulder of US 15 for a quarter mile, but it's well worth the hassle.
The climb itself is pretty gentle by area standards, although it can be extended by turning left onto Wigville Rd and following either that or Fox Tower Rd (both are paved / chip seal, whereas Mink Farm Rd has a coarse gravel section), which bring the total elevation differential closer to 1300ft. Or you can follow Catoctin Hollow and catch Park Central Dr (when open) for another great climb.
