This guided hiking tour with River and Trail Outfitters provides an opportunity for education while you walk. Your walking tour starts on Harper's Ferry Road where rail lines, rivers, and trails meet. The Appalachian Trail is discussed and railroad bridge ruins provide an introduction to the rich transportation history of the area. The climb to the Heights follows a worn military road, leftover from the Civil War, that winds its way up the mountain and turns onto a wooded path leading down to the cliffs. The cliffs offer spectacular views of the confluence of the Shenandoah and Potomac Rivers and an aerial view of Harpers Ferry National Park along with the meeting of Maryland, Virginia, and West Virginia. Hike the areas number one overlook with us!
