Happy trails to you!
The Blue Ridge Chapter of the Potomac Appalachian Trail Club includes several A.T. Communities as it extends south from Harpers Ferry to the towns of Round Hill and Purcellville, then west to Bluemont, Berryville, Winchester and Shawneeland, and south to Boyce, Paris, Delaplane and Front Royal.
We are hikers and volunteers of all backgrounds who work to maintain the Appalachian Trail and other PATC trails from the northern Shenandoah Valley in Virginia, to Harpers Ferry, West Virginia.
We welcome all PATC members in this area to the chapter, and we hope to see you on the trail. Please contact us to become a member of the chapter.

Offering scenic and bucolic open space near many major population centers, the A.T. is surprisingly accessible to both thru-hikers and day hikers, to solo travelers and to families and groups. For the three million people who set foot on the Trail each year, it is a place for connection and community, yet a haven for solitude and silence, too. Guided by the Trail's famous white blazes, A.T. hikers tend to discover something essential and profound—the exhilaration of freedom, an application for beauty, and a sense of their own power."
