There's a nice view of the river from this area. Rock is a little odd being covered, but worth a trip for the view.

Amazing views of the Shenandoah River, and the town of Harpers Ferry. Beautiful history in regard to the nature overlook. It’s not a short hike up, about 0.1 miles. You will know you are headed in the right direction when you are heading up the stairway to the old Catholic Church. Well worth the walk!

nice short hike and you get to say you've been on the Appalachian trail. The view at the "top", however, isn't all that impressive. All that gushing from Jefferson turns out to be hyperbole. There are better views from the historical park and from the waterfront at Harpers Ferry.
