The AT from Keyes Gap to Harpers Ferry

Parking at Keyes Gap

Often parking is problematic for the daytrip or short haul hiker. We've  chosen starting points that do provide a place to ditch the vehicle for short hikes. For those long treks we'd recommend other arrangements. The parking area at Keys Gap can accommodate about 20 vehicles(optimistically). It's easy to miss on the first pass but room to take a 180 Degree is easy to find just down the road. The map HERE should help.

he map also shows two retail stores where food and drink can be obtained if you're hiking thru, Torlone's Pizza in WV and Sweet Springs Store in VA. If you're feeling lucky, you can buy lottery tickets for the Super Ball or the VA lotteries.
