Shenandoah Walking Tour
Shenandoah, United States
Why Walk Shenandoah
Shenandoah National Park stretches 105 miles along the Blue Ridge in Virginia, with Skyline Drive running the full length along the crest. The park has over 500 miles of trails including 101 miles of the Appalachian Trail. Nearly 40% of the park is designated wilderness, and the forest — which has regrown since farming was abandoned in the 1930s — is home to black bears, white-tailed deer, and over 190 bird species.
