Need a scenic escape steeped in history and natural beauty? Head to Harpers Ferry! You'll find it at the confluence of the Potomac and Shenandoah Rivers. I loved breathtaking views here, Civil War heritage, outdoor adventures, and a quaint, walkable town center.

I enjoyed my stay at Clarion Inn Harpers Ferry, a family-friendly hotel with a pool, restaurant, and easy access to trails and highways.
