Parks & Nature

A great short hike to the famous rock that Thomas Jefferson stated that the view is worth a trip across the ocean to see. It's also along the Appalachian Trail. If you are lucky you might spot a scruffy thru-hiker on their way to Maine or Georgia.

This is a great hike that starts from Harpers Ferry Rd along the Potomac River on the Maryland side. It's a 2-1/2 mile hike each way and is well worth the trip. It's best suited for active adults and children. This is not a "walk in the park" kind of hike. You can make the hike longer by adding in the loop to see the Old Stone Fort, ruins from the Civil War.
