5 days in Shenandoah National Park Itinerary

Shenandoah National Park showcases a particularly scenic section of Virginia's Blue Ridge Mountains.

Step out of the city life by going to Skyline Drive and Old Rag Mountain Hike. Get out of town with these interesting Shenandoah National Park side-trips: Zipline (in McGaheysville) and Grand Caverns (in Grottoes). There's much more to do: take in the dramatic scenery at Dark Hollow Falls, take your sightseeing to a higher altitude at Bearfence Mountain, paddle through the water with Shenandoah River Adventures, and tour the pleasant surroundings at Limberlost Trail.
