Shenandoah National Park
Hiking
The Appalachian Trail is more than 2,000 mi long, but you don't have to go that far, or even 2,000 feet, along it to see glorious foliage, rock formations, and wildlife. The trail zigzags across Skyline Drive through the park, offering easy access by car, variable hike lengths from a few feet to many miles, and connections with the more than 400 mi of the park's own trail network. Luray, VA.
