Overview
This is a moderate one way trail in Harpers Ferry National Historical Park. As with a lot of hikes in this area it is pretty rocky. From the parking are you can hike either North or South. North will take you into Harpers Ferry, which will be about 10 miles round trip. Or you can head South to the nearest shelter (or as far as you want). The nearest shelter is about 3.5 miles from the parking lot
This trail goes by Loudoun Heights.
Getting Started
Parking is in a small (10-12 spaces) gravel lot just off the north bound side of Route 9 in Keys Gap. There is a good AT trail map posted. You can hike either direction.
