Harpers Ferry, United States
N/A
Beatiful views at overlook. I parked at public parking and walked over bridge. Paid 15 bucks put in envolope. The first few miles are the toughest in the trail. Lots of uphill climb. It's about 8 miles if parked at lot. It's pretty well marked except at a crucial point where you need to turn left at orange trail. You used to be able to stay on Appalachian trail (white) and make it a loop. So turn left at orange trail which leads to blue trail to overlooks and split rocks. The overlooks are easy to miss so lookout for them. The split rocks at the end of Loudoun Heights trail are the best of the overlooks but the others are worthwhile. Might have to go slightly off trail to get best view. It was colder and windier so bring extra layers if hike in winter.

A series of worthwhile views of Harpers Ferry and the Potomac. This well marked trail is less rocky than the AT. Relatively busy on weekends.
Great hike and beautiful views. It cuts in to the Appalachian Trail. Not a very busy hike it can be a bit of a hike if your not use to hiking. About a 6 and half mile hike. It’s a great day hike. You get a little different view of the town then maryland heights.
Love this out n back add 2 miles if you need to park in visitor parking
Please keep your DOGS ON LEASH. (Visitor center was closed 6/14, had to park outside) Yesterday after long trek, I was sitting on a rock at the overlook & i felt a something next to my ear. It was large dog without a leash. The dog was walking around with owners just relaxing. This is not OK even in non-COVID times, wonder a startled child/person loose balance and fall from 100s of feet up. The views from the overlook is worth the 10 mile trek (round trip).
