Appalachian Trail (Bear’s Den)

Home to more miles of the Appalachian Trail than any other state, Virginia provides outdoor enthusiasts with breathtaking views and historical sites along one of the most iconic trails in the United States. In Loudoun County, Bluemont’s Bear's Den Scenic Lookout provides a 1.5-hour easygoing hike and spectacular sunset views.
