Description:
Jefferson Rock, in Harpers Ferry, WV. Standing on this rock in 1783, Thomas Jefferson stated that "this scene is worth a voyage across the Atlantic." The upper slab of the rock was stabilized with four pillars in the 1850s, but visitors are still forbidden from climbing on it. The Appalachian Trail passes Jefferson Rock, just above downtown Harpers Ferry.
