federally designated wilderness area, and two pass through an area regenerating after forest fire.
The GPS map for each hike is easy to follow, with the starting point, trail route and intersections along the way clearly marked.
All the hikes are accessible from a parking area and trailhead along Skyline Drive.:
Many of the hikes will appeal even to those not used to arduous uphill walks or long distances. Although all of the hikes do involve a climb, some are minimal; for example, a climb of only 340 feet takes hikers to the top of Stony Man, a summit offering one of the most stunning vistas in the park.
The longest hike is only three miles or so round trip (to the viewpoint at Chimney Rock); the shortest is a fascinating loop trail (the Frazier Discovery Trail on Loft Mountain).
This new guide is the third in a series published by the Shenandoah National Park Association, a nonprofit organization established in 1950 to support the park’s interpretive and educational programs.
The other two guides are “Short Hikes in Shenandoah National Park” and “Hikes to Waterfalls in Shenandoah National Park.”
Selling for $2 each, the guides are available in the park at visitor centers and entrance stations, as well as at the Aramark concession facilities.
