Harpers Ferry lies at the confluence of the Shenandoah and Potomac Rivers and has a lot of historical significance. It's also home to the Appalachian Trail Conference HQ and considered kind of the half-way point on the AT. It was also my stopping place for the 2011 section hike. Most of my hike had gone very well, but hiking 3 days in the snow from Front Royal to Harpers Ferry took it out of me. I kinda stumbled into the ATC HQ in a daze.
After signing in the register, I was ready for some hot food and dry socks! HF is really a cool little mountain town on the cliffs over the river.
Hard to believe it's so close to DC and all the suburban madness I grew up in.
