Day 35/May 6

Miles hiked: 17.21

Start: Harpers Ferry, WV

Finish: Rocky Run Shelter

Elevation gain: 3,822



Interior view of Rocky Run Shelter, the new one; varnished wood floors--quite nice.


Ruins of St. Johns Episcopal Church, built in 1852, in the old town section of Harpers Ferry. The congregation built a new church nearby after considerable damage to the original church during the Civil War.

After crossing the Potomac River, close to where the Shenandoah River merges with the Potomac, I got to walk along the C&O Towpath for 2.75 miles. Shortly thereafter, a tough climb up Weverton Cliffs ensued.

Route from my Suunto.
