West Virginia is a hiker’s paradise – and it’s easy to see why! With historic hikes, trails that lead to intrigue at abandoned sites, and adventurous treks that take you to overlooks as close to Heaven as you an get on earth, The Mountain State is seriously at the top of the list for reconnecting with nature.

One such novel hike begins at the end of Shenandoah Street in historic Harpers Ferry. When you get to the end of the street just keep walking toward the place known as The Point.

There's a trail that continues past The Point that leads over the picturesque Potomac River, but before we get to that, let's take a look at the infamous spot known as The Point.

From The Point, you can stand in one spot and see the convergence of two major rivers (the Potomac and the Shenandoah) AND three states.

In this very spot your feet will be planted in West Virginia and to your left, across the river, is Maryland. To your right and only slightly down river is Virginia. Click your heels and feel that magic of standing in the best of the three states! (They don't call it "Best Virginia" for nothing!)

It may look a little ominous on the approach from The Point, but it's actually a very nice bridge trail.

From the bridge, you'll have a clear view of the The Point and the exact spot where the two rivers meet just in front of the location. And if you keep walking...
