Shenandoah National Park offers year-round outdoor recreation including possible black bear sightings in summer and skiing in winter. Wildflowers flood the pastures in spring before fall paints the valley all shades of gold, amber, and pumpkin. Even if hiking isn’t your thing, an outing along Skyline Drive should tempt you to Virginia. Stretching for 105 miles from north to south and linked by a string of overlooks, this is one of the most scenic National Parkways in the country.
