Appalachian Trail
![]()
There are several nice hikes located in western Loudoun. Several of these are along the Appalachian Trail. The most popular hike is up to Bears Den. The Bears Den trail head is located just off Rt. 7 west of Round Hill and Bluemont. The hike to the Bears Den overlook from the parking area is less than 1 hour round trip depending on how fast you hike. The view looks out over Rt 7. and points west. For a more strenuous and longer hike, I would recommend the hike to Ravens Rock. To access the trail use the trailhead on the north side of Rt. 7. Be aware, the hike can be difficult in stretches but the views at Ravens Rock are very nice. Ravens Rock is just over the VA border into WV. Allow about 3 hours up and back.
