2:59 PM LOCAL TIMEShenandoah National Park is a 1,990 km² (770 sq mi) preserve straddling the Blue Ridge in western Virginia. The park is best known for Skyline Drive, a scenic 105-mile corridor following ridge-top curves and overlooks, and for trailheads that provide gateway access to the Appalachian Trail and myriad side paths. Highlights include HawksbillPeak — the park's highest point — Dark Hollow Falls for cascades and river valleys, and the peaceful promontories of Stony Man and Mary’s Rock. Whether you're planning multi-day hikes, easy ridge walks, or remote backcountry camping, Shenandoah rewards visitors with wildlife viewing (deer, Ursus americanus), seasonal foliage, and photography from sunrise glow to starry night.
