Region
Over 500 miles of trail along Skyline Drive — waterfalls, rock scrambles, and classic Blue Ridge summits.
Shenandoah National Park packs an enormous range of difficulty into a narrow ridge. You can walk fifteen minutes to a summit view at Stony Man or commit to a full day on Old Rag's scramble. Trailheads are numbered by Skyline Drive milepost, which makes planning unusually simple once you know the system.
