4-mile, easy hike on rolling terrain. Lying right outside the historic town of Harpers Ferry, Schoolhouse Ridge is the site of old farms, Stonewall Jackson’s confederate line in 1862, and rock quarries and woodland near the Shenandoah River. Most of our walk will be through open meadow on mowed trails over rolling terrain. There will be a bit of history to share and some interesting views of nearby sites. There have sometimes been closures of the parking lot and parts of the trail, so register in advance to keep in touch about last-minute changes. There is no charge for the hike, but donations are welcome.
Bring plenty of water, a snack, and protection from bugs and sun.
We will carry on in light rain, but cancel in case of a storm.
