The Shenandoah National Park Association announces the publication of an exciting new hiking guide for Shenandoah National Park: Scavenger Hike Adventures. Written by hikers and innovators Kat and John LaFevre, the guide is a jump-start to intriguing adventures along park trails for persons of all ages.

All of the guide’s 14 hikes conveniently begin at a parking area along Skyline Drive. The hikes are ranked from easy to moderate to extreme.

This interactive hiking guide is really a book full of clues. Hikers will search for treasures, one by one—a waterfall, a mountain peak, a cabin, a leaf, a rock, a tree.

One by one, step by step, hikers will discover things along the trail they have never noticed before: a starshaped tree stump, grapevines that look like pretzels, a “swimming seal” that’s really a rock, a tree that smells like root beer, holes made by one t>f the largest woodpeckers on earth, a possible bear den.

Since the guide is only 7” x 9" in size, it is easy to carry and hold. For every “find," hikers score points, and on the certificate printed after each hike they can document their achievement.
