Sunday I hiked the Appalachian Trail through Harpers Ferry and down the C & O Canal. This is one of the easier hikes I do along the trail. I did 9.5 miles in just over 3 hours. The views of the Shenandoah River coming down the mountain and across the Rt 340 bridge are quite stunning. The cold temperatures matched with stiff winds made the crossing very uncomfortable. The views at Jefferson Rock and the walk through town are worth the trip alone.
