Bear's Den is an old stone mansion located just off Route 7 west of Purcellville. The house is perched on top of a little hill with a rocky ledge that offers a great view of the woods out there, and the property provides excellent access to the Appalachian Trail. You can park your car in the parking lot (they lock the gate at the end of the driveway each night) and head out on the AT. That's just what my wife and I did this weekend.
Three miles south on the trail is Sam Moore Shelter and Sawmill Spring. It's a pretty challenging hike down there, but it's worth it! We had a campfire, made S'mores, and had a little cinnamon whisky to chase away the cold last night!
