Review:
Encompassing approximately 200,000 acres of land in the Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah National Park is home to some of the most spectacular scenery in America.
Almost the entire park is covered in forest, and there are approximately 500 hiking trails for visitors to enjoy, some of which lead to shimmering waterfalls. If you'd rather explore the park by car, you can take the scenic Skyline Drive, which traverses the entire length of the park and passes by some incredible viewpoints. Like many places in Virginia, the park is at its most beautiful in the fall, when the leaves put on a colorful show.
