I biked to Harpers Ferry yesterday to where the Shenandoah and Potomac rivers come together in a color difference you can see in the picture at bottom.
The tunnel through the mountain is through the escarpment known as the Maryland Heights.
The Appalachian Trail crosses here, and it was good to return to this section, which I have hiked in a previous life.
The Appalachian Trail stretches from south of Springer Mountain Georgia to Mount Katahdin, Maine — 2,000 miles. The C&O Canal Canal crosses here too, stretching from Washington, DC to Cumberland, MD, a distance of 185 miles, where it links up with the 150-mile Great Allegheny Path trail to Pittsburgh.
Three states - West Virginia, Virginia, and Maryland come together here, and Pennsylvania is very close.
