This is the most beautiful place in the world by grebjack

What more can I say? I like to be there in the fall when the waterfalls have dried up and you can scale the rock faces in sneakers. Absolutely magical.

Bears! by SamauriP

I spent two weeks working just outside of Elkton, VA. Shen NP is just east of the Shenandoah valley and I spent a couple days in the hills of Shen NP exploring. I ran on the “Big Run Loop” one afternoon after work and thought it would be funny if I saw a bear. I saw one bear thrashing through the bushes uphill from me. Towards the end of my run I ran into a smaller bear that scrambled thirty feet down a tree to greet me. I really enjoyed Shen NP, especially the natural isolation one can enjoy after work and only a mile or two from the road.

  • travel.nytimes.com Introduction to Shenandoah National Park by FROMMER'S November 20, 2006 Running for 105 miles atop the spine of the Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah National Park is a haven for plants and wildlife. Although long and skinny, the park encompasses some 300 square miles of mountains, forests, waterfalls, and rock formations. It has more than 60 mountain peaks higher than 2,000 feet, with Hawksbill and Stony Man exceeding 4,000 feet. Although high ozone levels frequently create obscuring smog during the summer, on many spring and fall days you will have panoramic views from overlooks along the Skyline Drive over the Piedmont to the east and the Shenandoah Valley to the west. The drive gives you access to the park's visitor facilities and to more than 500 miles of glorious hiking and horse trails, including the Appalachian Trail. (read article)
