pros cons and advices on a rock
Jefferson Rock的点评
点评：PROS
* It's a rock- a big rock
* It's an interesting geological structure which seems unstable and therefore is supported by pillars
* The area gives a great scenic panoramic view of the Shenandoah River near its confluence with the Potomac River
* Thomas Jefferson stood here, absorbed the same view that is seen today, and wrote about it
* The Appalachian Natural Trail passes it
* An easy uphill walk from the Lower Town of Harpers Ferry National Historical Park
* Close to the historic Harpers Cemetery from the 1700s
CONS
* Moderately dangerous ledge despite iron railings to prevent mishaps
* No climbing nor standing on the rock itself
* Access only by foot on the Appalachian nature Trail
"I VISITED THIS PLACE"...
... when I passed it during my Appalachian Nature Trail hike from the Visitors center to the Historic Lower Old Town.
It was an unexpected and pleasant surprise. I enjoyed the view and the scenery very much.
I also enjoyed reading the plaque inscriptions and imagining Thomas Jefferson standing on the precipice at the peak of the rock.
However, that's not what i saw- I saw a 69 year old cardiac patient, after heart attack and resuscitation and stents climbing up and down from the dangerous rock (see my "helpful" photos).
ADVICES
If you are in the area, it's not a long walk from the Lower Town, so visit it to enjoy the panoramic views.

翻译：优点
* 这是一块石头——一块大石头
* 这是一个有趣的地质结构，看起来不稳定，因此由柱子支撑
* 该地区享有谢南多厄河与波托马克河交汇处的壮丽全景
* 托马斯·杰斐逊站在这里，吸收了今天所看到的相同观点，并写下了它
* 阿巴拉契亚自然步道经过它
* 从哈珀斯费里国家历史公园下城步行即可轻松上坡
* 靠近 1700 年代历史悠久的 Harpers 公墓
缺点
*尽管有铁栏杆以防止发生事故，但壁架仍具有一定的危险性
* 禁止攀爬或站在岩石上
* 只能步行进入阿巴拉契亚自然步道
“我参观过这个地方”...
...当我在从游客中心到历史悠久的下老城区的阿巴拉契亚自然步道徒步旅行中经过它时。
这是一个意想不到的惊喜。我非常喜欢这里的景色和风景。
我也喜欢阅读牌匾上的铭文，并想象托马斯·杰斐逊站在岩石顶峰的悬崖上。
然而，这不是我所看到的——我看到一位 69 岁的心脏病患者，在心脏病发作和复苏后，支架从危险的岩石上爬上爬下（请参阅我的“有用”照片）。
建议
如果您在该地区，步行不远便可抵达下城区，因此可以前往欣赏全景。
