Blue Ridge park encompassing 200,000 acres of forest, trails, waterfalls & Skyline Drive vistas.
"Located just over an hour’s drive from Washington D.C., Shenandoah National Park offers a wilderness escape without having to venture too far. Black bears, deer, and other wildlife roam through the mountains and valleys, drink from the streams and waterfalls, and hide in the hardwood forests that are inclusive of this park. Skyline Drive is a meandering scenic road that runs north to south and boasts countless scenic pull-offs. Hikers will love the technical and strenuous Old Rag hike, which affords great views at its pinnacle, although it is the busiest and most popular in the park. " [Travel+Leisure]
