The Beauty of Shenandoah National Park

Written by Author on October 20th, 2009

Shenandoah National Park is one of mother natures most beautiful creations with a treasure trove of secrets hidden around every bend. Here you will enter a world of scenic natural beauty and old-world charm that will top your list of dream style vacations within the US.

Located less than an hour from Washington, DC, Shenandoah National Park reflects such an antithesis of the hurried lifestyle of our nation’s capital that it is hard to believe that these two diametrical environments even share the same region.

Shenandoah is 300 square miles of scenic natural beauty at its finest. Shenandoah National Park is a sanctuary to more than 100 different varieties of trees, a garden to more than 1,000 different varieties of flowering plants, and a habitat to more than 200 different types of birds.  Enveloped  in such unbelievable beauty and tranquility, Shenandoah truly is an unequalled nirvana in the eastern United States.

Resting in a beautiful setting high atop the Appalachian Mountains, Shenandoah is the ultimate getaway from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.  Some of Shenandoah’s most popular resort destinations such as Skyland Resort, Big Meadows Lodge and Lewis Mountain Cabins offer a peaceful home-like atmosphere overlooking the classic American panorama of the region.

Shenandoah National Park is a bevy of hiking biking and adventure trails, wilderness trails and quiet country roads that demand exploration.  The park includes over 500 miles of trails including a beautiful stretch of more than one-hundred miles of the famous Appalachian Trail. Many of the trails inside the park will lead you to spectacular waterfalls and unforgettable panoramas that open up to the beautiful Appalachian Mountains, while others lead deep into the heart of the hard wood forests and Appalachian wilderness.

The breathtaking Blue Ridge Parkway is a 469-mile stretch of highway that meanders its way through some of the most panoramic countryside in North America.  There are countless scenic viewpoints and vistas along this stretch of highway, and a drive along the Blue Ridge Parkway is a trip that you will never forget, especially if it is done in the fall when the mountain sides are set afire with the radiant colors of autumn.
