An interesting story and a nice view above Harper's Ferry…read moreJefferson Rock is one of the highlights of Harpers Ferry. It gives a good mix of history, scenery, and a bit of historic adventure that personifies the town. The hike to the rock takes you up the hillside, passing by the iconic St. Peter's Catholic Church along the way. The path itself is fairly manageable, and most sections have railings, but once you reach the rock the protection stops. Because of this, I would recommend the visit only for those who are sure-footed and comfortable with uneven ground, as the drop-offs can be intimidating without barriers. The payoff, however, is worth the effort. From a position next to the rock you get a sweeping view of the confluence of the Shenandoah and Potomac Rivers, as well as the historic town of Harpers Ferry nestled below. The vantage point is both dramatic and peaceful, giving you a sense of why, according to the stories, Thomas Jefferson, during his travels, found this very spot so moving that it now bears his name. For those who wish to explore more, you can continue on the trail past Jefferson Rock and make your way to the Appalachian trail, which adds another layer of history to the walk. The informational sign could use a little care but, overall, this is a scenic and meaningful stop, best enjoyed with good shoes and sure footing. Enjoy.

Let me give some mad respect to whomever dug out the spot to put in a rather large parking area for us! For years we've been on side of this narrow dirt road. * Thank. (Virtual fist pump). This was 3 miles out and 3 miles back. The waterfall is around 1 mile mark. It's off to the right. *please understand, ricks are slippery whether they're wet ot not. How someone brings three toddlers here with no backpack, water or first aid is beyond me. I had to leave the area. But it was really nice. Very relaxing and you did have to hand/foot climb to get up there. Be careful please. I double backed and got on the A.T. Couple more miles to the secret cliff I saw in another Yelp post. :) . Lots of people walked by, no one knew I was there. I had it all to myself. Its better than the actual lookout. Anyway. I scanned the rocks for danger, shot some pics and sat down for water and dry crackers. I look over and there are 2 snakes curled up by a small tree about 6 feet from me. I spoke to them. "Thought you'd hide from me. I got you!" It was funny. I took a couple pics and kept my eyes on them. Only takes a second to lose track and they end up right at me saying, "HA got you back!" I sat a while then headed back down. I enjoyed it! I'd like to section hike and have a car waiting to take me back to my own car where I started. They should have an Uber Hikes App available for that. ;) This way I can hike for as far as I want without turning around to come straight back.

The trail is rocky and of course a steep grade but overall, I felt it wasn't too strenuous at all. Pretty quick trip to the Cliffs. Had a little lunch and back down we went. There were a LOT of people. Most would rather run you down than make room for you on the trail. When we step aside for families or people coming opposite way, there were no Thank you's. Where did trail courtesy go. Lots of dogs on trail as well. I hope people brought water for them. The Cliffs were bare and lots of top rocks to sit on to admire the view and, the view was beautiful. A great day for such a view. Now I can say, I've been there and hiked that. Time to look for more trails and cliffs.

The river was relaxing, the views were gorgeous, and the whole day just felt easy and fun. A huge shoutout to Spider, our guide, who truly went above and beyond. Not only did he keep the energy high with great vibes and a friendly attitude, but he also made sure everyone was safe and accounted for throughout the float. We noticed him picking up trash along the way. So awesome to see someone taking care of the river and setting a great example. He really cared about both the people and the environment. If you're thinking about doing a tubing trip in Harpers Ferry, this is the place to go--and if you're lucky enough to get Spider as your guide, you're in for a great time!

Loudoun Heights is a much longer and more uneven hike with less stunning views at the end. I love getting to intersect with the Appalachian Trail! That was a super cool part of this hike. Getting to the trailhead was an adventure in and of itself. If you're starting in Low Town, you can take what feels like a million steps into a trail. Much easier: park in the first lot on Shenandoah Road and take the sidewalk to the bridge. It'll save you truly an hour round-trip. On this four-hour+ hike, I passed maybe 10 people total. I'm a social hiker, so I didn't need the privacy. But it was nice regardless! Next time I'll probably stick to Maryland Heights.

I enjoy parking at the train station, walking through the small town and starting at the steps to the magnificent St. Peter's Church. The steps are killer and hand made/placed in position. Follow behind the church to the cemetary and Jefferson's Rock. The Appalachian Trail is white blazed and has an entry point here. You'll come out at Rte 340 but turn left to go across the bridge over the Shenendoah River. I believe that's the South Fork under the bridge. Walking over that bridge, especially with the TONS of rain we've had is absolutely amazing. The river was raging! I snapped a lot of pics here. After crossing the bridge you follow the steps to go under the bridge and up some stairs to continue on the A.T. and Loudoun Heights trail. Very simple hike as far as where to go. Follow white blazed trail, cross a road, (You'll pass Orange Blaze but stay on white. You'll take Orange on the way back) ......take a left at the blue blaze. Can't miss it. Follow blue til it ends. You'll see some paths off blue that are just a couple trees away from overlooks. Good take a minute to enjoy. At the end of the Blue blazed trail is an unbelievable view of the Town of Harper's Ferry, the train bridge, Maryland Heights mountain and to the right is the bridge you'll cross into MD if I remember correctly. I love to sit up there with the wind drying off my sweat as I eat my apples and nuts before the trip back. Hearing the train up there and looking at the views was majestic. Not many people at all! I met 5 two-three people groups on my trip and they were so nice. On the way back, of course you're on blue but take a right on Orange blaze to meet up with the A.T. to get back down. Once you're back at the Town of Harper's Ferry, stop in at one of the cafe's and grab an ice cream cone or milkshake! You deserve it!
