My friends and I are going hiking up at Harpers Ferry National Park this weekend and wanted to know if the leaves have started to turn color yet?
A:
It’s been four weeks since our visit and they really had not started to color yet. I would think they have started to turn by now. Have fun and be safe.
Is the visitor center open? And is the gift shop open?

The busses were running so i believe it must be open. If we can we skip it we do and park in town as there is visitor info in one of the buildings. The gift shop went down hill in trinkets and kids stuff and uphill with books. Not my cup of tea sorry I cant help you there.
Wandering if anyone’s been there recently who can tell me what the leaves are looking like? I love photography and was hoping to catch some colorful shots. I’ll be heading up that way later this week. Also, if I wanted to walk around the town and hit the state park, where would a good place to park be? Never been before. Thanks in advance!

We randomly picked next weekend for our fall trip and according to the on-line leaf chart, that weekend into the following weekend should be most favorable. That being said, Mother Nature will ultimately decide. Let's just hope she keeps any wet, breezy weather at bay until then. As for parking, you can drive directly to the town and park there if you plan to be there past dusk. The town and park kind of meld together and the businesses stay open after the park. If you are quiet and respectful, you can wander around the park portion of the town after dusk. I am not sure how plentiful the park/town parking is as we walk from our accommodations, but you could park further up the hill on the street and walk down as it is a stunning view coming down the hill. If you don't plan on staying past dusk, there is ample parking at the visitor center and a shuttle that takes you to the park and back. The fee for the shuttle is included in the park admission fee (or at least it was the last time I chose this route a few years back with my father in-law). Hope this helps and here's to a lovely trip for you!
