My friend and former writer for the Smithsonian, David, writes a great blog about his biking and other adventures. Here’s a recent post he wrote about a bike trip to one of my favorite history places, Harpers Ferry, West Virginia. Be sure to check out some of his other posts.

Tim – is that a paved or gravel path?

C&O canal towpath is gravel. An alternative would be the Washington & Old Dominion, which is paved and goes all the way up to Purcellville – that will get you most of the way there. It is a historic railroad trail, and has many stops of interest (and a few exhibit panels) along the way.
