This tough hike is for braggin’ rights, folks!We’ll start on the C&O side of the trestle footbridge in Maryland and walk the AT to the Southern border of Harpers Ferry NHP. Just beyond the border, we’ll set foot in Virginia before starting our descent back to the park. Along the way we’ll talk some history, some nature and some trivia.
Led by volunteers Dave Cahan, a seasoned hiker who’s familiar with Harpers Ferry's 20 miles of trails, and Pam Hayba, this approximately 7-mile hike is rated MODERATE to STRENUOUS, with an approximately 1200 ft elevation gain and areas of uneven rocky and muddy footing. Long pants are recommended due to poison ivy in the area. Meet at the Point in Lower Town, Harpers Ferry.
Participants will meet on the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal side of the pedestrian footbridge. Don’t forget to bring lunch (or snacks) and water!
Registration Required | $10 Program Fee
