In May I took a six mile hike at Maryland Heights across the river from Harper's Ferry, West Virginia. I would recommend this hike for anyone who enjoys the out doors and/or history. There is a shorter route that can be taken that leads directly to the overlook of Harper's Ferry (see first photo). The longer trail leads you around the top of the mountain with an excellent view looking east as well as what is left of Civil War fortification. I would suggest bringing plenty of water and is fun without or without company (I did it myself and found it to be very peaceful).
