Loudoun Heights 10 Mile Hike

More than 150 years previously, Confederate General “Stonewall”Jackson and his troops used Loudoun Heights as a staging ground for the bombardment of the strategic town of Harper’s Ferry.  Fourteen Scouts and seven adults set out on an unseasonably mild Sunday morning at 8:15 a.m. for an 11-mile out-and-back hike on the Loudoun Heights Overlook hike in West Virginia.  We saw no evidence of the Civil War on our hike, much of which required us to keep our eyes on the rocky trail to avoid missteps or slips.
