On our rest day, we hiked a bit of the Appalachian Trail to
get to Jefferson’s Rock which overlooks the Shenandoah Valley and where you can
view the Shenandoah River meeting the Potomac.
It was a very nice spot. The rock
is now “propped” up as it was deemed a hazard sometime in the past. We left Harpers Ferry going down the big hill
that we had so much trouble climbing before.
Over the bridge and down the spiral staircase which was actually harder
going down then coming up. It was a
beautiful day and we only had 27 miles so it was an easy day. We shared the trail with the AT for a few
miles.
I am posting a lot of pics as we got to see the inside of a
lockhouse where the keeper was paid $150 per year. At the end of our day we crossed White’s
Ferry to the Virginia side where we stayed in Leesburg.
