I didn't know which forum to put this in, I figured the most exposure would be here in General...
Me & several friends have been knocking off sections of the AT two weekends a year, and I think we want to "get out of Dodge (NJ/NY/PA) this time. I was thinking of a 3-day trip around Harper's Ferry. Supposed to be a cool/scenic area, lots of history. Starting, ending, passing thru, Harper's Ferry, whatever. Don't know anything about the area. Can anybody recommend a nice 3-day stretch of the AT there? And anything else cool in the area? (cool restaraunts/good beer, etc)? We average 8 miles/day in mountainous terrain, about 12/day in hilly terrain.
Oh- and is there a specific book on THAT AREA of the AT to get? I'm always the trip planner, so I end up buying the guidebooks & maps...
Thanks all!
