I just recently spent the weekend in Harpers Ferry, it is a beautiful place and it was nice to visit the ATC. I hiked the Maryland Heights Trail and for those of you who are not familiar with this trail, it is a short hike up to a cliff above the Potomac River that offers a scenic view of Harpers Ferry. I was wondering if the ATC or the trail club who maintains this area of trail in Maryland has ever considered routing the A.T. to this point? Seeing how Harpers Ferry is a major destination along the trail and it being home to the ATC, It would seem like a good idea in my opinion to offer A.T. hikers a scenic view of this beautiful town.
