Description

The Blue Blaze Trail treats visitors to fantastic views of Harpers Ferry and the confluence of the Potomac and Shenandoah rivers.

Starting at the junction with the AT, follow the blue blazes as the trail gently climbs to a clearing strung with power lines. At the clearing, enjoy fantastic views of historic Harpers Ferry before diving back into the woods, and continuing a climb for about a quarter-mile before reaching the crest of the ridge. From there, the trail continues, descending gently along a ridgeline to its end at the Split Rock Overlook.

First real overlook on the trail. It's on a power line but the view is still nice.
