Sweeping wildflower fields, brilliant fall foliage, cascading waterfalls, black bears, and songbirds. Mountain hollows. A meandering scenic drive stretching over 100 miles across the crest of the Blue Ridge Mountains.
Shenandoah National Park in Central Virginia has attracted visitors since the 1930s when the park first opened to the public.
