A Day In The Park: Shenandoah National Park

Drive 75 miles (121 kilometers) from busy Washington, D.C. and you’ll enter 200,000 acres (>80,000 hectares) of protected geography rich with history and the ghosts of Civil War soldiers vying with songbirds and waterfalls to tell their stories. Shenandoah National Park in Virginia is a landscape of ancient mountains, rolling hills, shadowy backwoods, and quiet hollows.
