Saturday morning we crossed the Potomac from Maryland into West Virginia. Today’s hike was short but tough. We started in Weaverton, MD and hiked northwest up the C&O Canal tow path. We crossed the old train truss bridge over the Potomac River into Harpers Ferry. The river moves quite well this time of year. We walked through town and past the ruins of the Federal Arsenal and up the steep grade past the Catholic Church. The west end of town sits along the Shenandoah River, which include awesome views from Jefferson Rock. We crossed the Shenandoah River on Rt. 340 and marched past the Appalachian Trail Conference HQ and off into the woods of West Virginia. So many points of interest and significance here in Harper’s Ferry. Always worth the trip.
