    Default Place(s) to Park in Harpers Ferry

    Looking to do SOBO from PenMar to Harpers Ferry in October. Where could I leave my car? Thanks!

    Leave it at the Visitors Center lot. A ranger will have you register it there - your route, how long you expect to leave it, etc. Park it at the backside of the lot out of the way of daily tourists. When you get into town just take free shuttle bus back up to the Visitors Center. Easy.

    Thank you, thank you! I knew there was an easy way but couldn't find it in another thread.

    Check with the park. I think that you have to pay to park and they lock the gates at night.

    you left to walk the appalachian trail

    the mountains your darlings
    but better to love than have something to scale
