    Default Shuttle from Harpers Ferry, WV to Penn Mar, PA

    Planning a 70 K walk from Penn Mar to Harpers Ferry. Need a Sunday evening shuttle for return to Penn Mar area.

    Due to MS I was unable to walk 8 years ago. Now I've completed a couple of 50K's and am looking to the four state challenge.

    What is the date that you need the shuttle?

    If it is May 3rd, we might be driving that route. But more likely than not it would be 4ish timeframe.

    There's an outfit down that way that provides shuttle services! River and Trail Outfitters I believe is the name near Harpers.....they Gentleman that owns the business shuttled my wife and I from Penn-Mar to Harpers a year and a half ago so that we could hike MD. I would be glad to help you out myself but we are all the way up here in coastal MA. Good luck.

    Default My suggestion - shuttle to the beginning, not from the end

    If I understand your comments, I suggest you park in Harper's Ferry, and have them shuttle you to the starting place. That way when you are done, you can just leave, and not wait for a shuttle. That is what I did in September 2014, with River and Trail Outfitters (starting at Pine Knob). They are very reliable but not as inexpensive as some others. There is a listing on the ATC website which includes them and others. They had me park in the Harper's Ferry Park, which costs $5 or so, unless you have a national park pass, but was very safe to park. You can also park by the AMC HQ if there is room. Good luck.
