Best trails in Shenandoah National Park

Located along the Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah National Park runs with the broad Shenandoah River, valleys, and rolling hills. Covered in forest, Skyline Drive and the famous Appalachian Trail run the entire length of this narrow park. There is so much more to explore including scenic overlooks, waterfalls of the Shenandoah River, and Hawksbill Mountain, the highest peak. Shenandoah National Park is always open. However, portions of Skyline Drive -- the only public road through the park -- are periodically closed during inclement weather. Visitors may still enter the park on foot to hike even when the drive is closed.
