Synopsis

This book presents classic Shenandoah National Park hikes, such as Rose River Loop and Whiteoak Canyon, but also lesser known trails that offer solitude and equally scenic sights, such as Lost Cliffs and Furnace Mountain. This detailed guide offers both day and overnight hikes, depending on the interest and skill level of the hiker. Each day and overnight hike contains four key elements to help readers plan and enjoy the perfect trip: GPS-based trail maps, GPS-based elevation profiles, directions to the trailhead, and trail descriptions. Designed to fit easily into a back pocket, this guide leads hikers and backpackers to sites of exceptional beauty and solitude.

From the Back Cover:

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!
