Shenandoah National Park is known for spectacular panoramic views along Skyline Drive, a 105-mile scenic byway that traverses the entire length of the park.  Located along the crest of Virginia’s Blue Ridge Mountains, Skyline Drive is one of the best mountain drives in the United States.  As you wind your way through the park, stop at one of Skyline Drive’s 75 overlooks and relax with breathtaking views of the Shenandoah Valley and the Virginia Piedmont.

The park offers more than 500 miles of hiking trails all skill levels. Most trailheads begin along Skyline Drive – look for the trail markers offering useful information, distances, connections to other trails, including the Appalachian Trail . The park offers 300 square miles of mountains, forests, waterfalls, and rock outcroppings.

Wildlife sightings are common – look for black bears, raccoons, fox, deer, owls, coyotes and wild turkeys.
