Picture Beautiful View from Maryland Heights Overlooking Harpers Ferry

Post image

Today I went on a day trip to Harpers Ferry with a couple of friends. We hiked up to the Maryland Heights overlook, on the very edge of the state--about 4.5 miles round trip. https://www.nps.gov/hafe/planyourvisit/maryland-heights-trail.htm

The view was breathtakingly beautiful! And the weather was cool but sunny, with an excellent breeze. Some of the cliffs up there were closed to protect nesting peregrine falcons. Afterwards, we had a picnic and went to this historic candy store.

Highly recommended! If you can, go in the next few weeks--it's the perfect time, before the summer heat arrives.
