Review & FAQ:
The Appalachian National Scenic Trail is one of the longest and most well-known hiking trails in the United States. According the the Appalachian Trail Conservancy, it is the longest hiking-only trail in the entire world. Clocking in at over two thousand miles long, it stretches from Maine all the way down to Georgia, passing through 14 states along the way, and Harpers Ferry is roughly its midpoint, making it a celebrated milestone for many thru-hikers. While a full hike along the Appalachian Trail can take months, visitors to Harpers Ferry can enjoy a short hike along a section of the trail for a glimpse of some of the amazing beauty of the region.
