Leave your cherished automobile and the drone of traffic on Skyline Drive behind and discover the true essence of scenic Shenandoah National Park by foot. You'll find white quartz outcrops, tumbling streams teeming with trout, fascinating views of the Blue Ridge, and many other natural wonders in this nearly 200,000-acre park. Author Johnny Molloy will help you free both your mind and body by introducing you to more than 30 day hikes and 10 overnight hikes in the park. Some classic hikes, such as Hawksbill and Whiteoak Canyon, are included, but most hikes will steer you off the beaten path where you'll find more solitude and infrequently visited sights. Each trail description offers commentary on what to expect along the way and rates each hike for: scenery, trail condition, difficulty, solitude, accessibility for children. Easily carried in your pocket, this book provides directions to over 40 of the best day and overnight hikes in Shenandoah National Park. The exceptional beauty and peace of mind found on these hikes just can't be experienced from a climate-controlled automobile!Molloy, Johnny is the author of 'Day & Overnight Hikes Shenandoah National Park ', published 2007 under ISBN 9780897326346 and ISBN 0897326342.
