DC Day Trips - Harpers Ferry
Join DC Day Trips for an outdoors adventure to Harpers Ferry!
Where are we going this time?
🚙 Harpers Ferry, WV: We'll arrive around 9am and start with the historic town. We'll explore the cobblestone streets, peek into restored 19th century buildings, and soak in the view where the Potomac, Shenandoah, and Opequon rivers converge. This is the landscape that shaped American history.
🥾⛰️Maryland Heights Trail: The main event! A moderate 4-mile out-and-back hike featuring sweeping river views and some Civil War era ruins. Be prepared to sweat!
🍻 Wind-down with lunch: We'll get a bite to eat at a local spot on the way home. Kick back and relax a bit before heading back to DC.

✅ A curtated and guided itinerary so you can just show up and enjoy the day
✅ Snacks and electrolytes on the trail. No one's getting hangry or depleted on our watch!

About Us
DC Day Trips is cultivating a community of Washingtonians who love the outdoors and want to spend less time planning and more time connecting with nature and friends.
We believe the outdoors should be more accessible to DC residents (no car? no problem). That's why we help plan ALL the logistics, including transportation.
This summer, we are hosting trips to hike, paddle, explore, and gather in the incredible outdoor spaces the DMV has to offer. Destinations are just outside the beltway, only 1-3 hours away from DC.
