Another contender for the most beautiful town in the USA. Visiting the small 19th century town of Harpers Ferry, West Virginia is literally like stepping through a time portal and walking into history. It's been immaculately preserved or in some cases, reconstructed. It's super small, with less than 300 full time residents, but there's plenty to see and do. Just walking around town and seeing the beautiful architecture, shops, and restaurant is fun enough, but the nature in Harpers Ferry is also amazing!
It's located at approximately the halfway point of the Appalachian Trail and there's hikes all around town. You can hike to get views overlooking the town and it's amazing to see from above. It's located at the confluence of the Potomac and Shenandoah rivers and is surrounded by rocky cliffs, and both a car bridge over the river and a railroad trestle. Kayaking and rafting the river is another popular pastime in the area.
It's also located right where three states meet, Maryland, West Virginia, and Virginia. But only the lovely, underrated state of West Virginia really gets to claim this charming gem. Another thing I love about Harpers Ferry is that it's beautiful to visit in any season.
If you haven't been to visit yet, I highly recommend it. It's a must do for anyone traveling on the east coast.
