If you enjoy hiking and you ever find yourself in Harper's Ferry, WV, be sure to take the Maryland Heights Trail to the Harpers Ferry Overlook. Here are a few pics from a visit a few years ago.
The trail can be steep in places as you ascend to the top of Maryland Heights.
Oddly enough, once there you have to downclimb to reach the lookout. The path here is very rocky so be sure to bring hiking poles with you.
When I got to the overlook I was alone and sat quietly trying to absorb the history and beauty all around me.
It's impossible to take a bad picture of Harpers Ferry at sunset.
Thomas Jefferson once proclaimed that Harpers Ferry was "worth a voyage across the Atlantic for." Or at least a drive to West Virginia. :-)
