Along the Blue Ridge Mountains in Virginia, the Shenandoah National Park boasts an expansive system of hiking trails, including the Appalachian Trail. With shimmering waterfalls and mountain peaks like Old Rag. Take your vehicle on the famous Skyline Drive or experience its dynamic wildlife and ancient geology while visiting the park each season.
While visiting the park, we at the Trust ask that you recreate responsibly. That means planning your visit carefully based on seasonal park closures and public safety concerns.
Tucked away in the Blue Ridge Mountains, and only 75 miles from our nation’s capital, Shenandoah National Park offers more than 75 overlooks and vistas along its iconic, 105-mile Skyline Drive. With more than 500 miles of hiking trails, Shenandoah also houses 101 miles of the Appalachian Trail. There are so many ways to explore Shenandoah. Here are just a few!
Even while you’re working, you can still feel like you’re out viewing wildlife or enjoying a beautiful vista view off Skyline Drive. We hope that these free digital downloads will inspire you to get out and explore Shenandoah National Park when you can. Thank you for supporting the work we do.
One of the highlights of Shenandoah National Park is exploring the hikes and vista views by cruising along Skyline Drive. Enjoy these free Spotify playlists you can play wherever the road takes you. Special thanks to a few Shenandoah-loving Virginia musicians and former Artists-in-Residence.
