A visit to Harpers Ferry wouldn't be complete without walking alongside the old railroad bridges that connect Maryland to West Virginia, over the Potomac River. A footbridge from Lower Town Harpers Ferry runs parallel to the railroad bridge, toward the C&O Canal. The Maryland Heights trails climb up from the canal and lead to an overlook of the town and the rivers below. The National Parks website has some great information about the hikes around Harpers Ferry, as well as history of the bridges and the town.
