Virginia/West Virginia Border

[gatorcoach]

Where is a good starting point to hike all of the border of Virginia/West Virginia? How many miles do the two states share?

Thanks!

I am not sure it is so concrete lol - Kinda the same as the TN/ NC border? I know there are 8 dedicated miles of WV up just south of Harpers Ferry. But I also know that down in central VA the trail gets mighty, mighty close to West Virginia border between Pearisburg and Pine Swamp Shelter

Thanks! Bad question then, so let me rephrase the question.

This is a 23 mile stretch from Weverton Road to Snickers Gap. This would encompass the WV stretch. Is it the shortest length to complete it? I cant say if it is

Using www.atdist.com, I see 23.2 miles from Weverton Rd, MD to VA7 at Snickers Gap. Maybe this is what you're looking for?
I don't have maps with me to see anything more detailed than that.

Me and Gambit ... great minds think alike?

Very good parking at both ends of this section.

The trail definitely wanders in and out of WV between Rice Fields and Pine Swamp shelters.

Interesting. Found some journals with pictures of signage:

Go to the Bears Den Hostel and hike to Harper's Ferry. The hostel is awesome and you will cover the final 4 miles of the roller coaster as well.
