The Maryland Height trail is another one of those trails that's quite popular out here. Some saw the view from the top, looking down into historic Harper's Ferry, is one of the best in the state. Last time I was in Harper's Ferry J. and I kept hiking to a minimum due to the humidity, so I had to go back and actually do the trail. It's uphill for the first half, but well worth it. And though we skipped the stone fort, there are other civil war things to see since so much happened in those hills.
It ended up being a drizzly day but was never raining hard so we embraced it. A light mist is quite refreshing when you're going uphill. And mist/fog make for interesting photos.
View from the top. Confluence of Shenandoah River and Potomac River.
A Fordham Spiced Harvest (get some, it's delish) joined us.
Becasue Leah had never been we took the C&O Canal trail to the big bridge and walked over to Harper's Ferry.
Thanks to the shutdown pretty much everything was closed. Even the bathrooms. But I was ready to storm the barricade!
And we did hike a little more up to Jefferson Rock. Jefferson wrote, about this spot: "this scene is worth a voyage across the Atlantic"
And then there was more beer.
