Experience It! Shenandoah National Park
The establishment of Shenandoah National Park in 1935 was the culmination
of an effort that took almost four decades. Shenandoah National Park lies
astride a beautiful section of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Skyline Drive, a 105-
mile road that winds along the crest of the mountains through the length of
the park, provides vistas of the spectacular landscape to the east and west.
The park holds more than 500 miles of trails and is home to many animals,
including deer, black bears and wild turkeys, which flourish among the rich
growth of an oak-hickory forest. Your overnight stay in the park may be at
Skyland Resort, built in 1886 by George Freeman Pollock, Jr. who was
influential in establishing Shenandoah as a national park. Pollock chose the
perfect spot for his summer retreat which, at 3,680 feet, is now the highest
point on the Skyline Drive.
