The A.T.

The Appalachian Trail in 
Shenandoah National Park

The A.T. runs north & south through the National Park... 101-107 miles depending on the information source. Skyline Drive runs across the ridge of the mountain basically paralleling the A.T. I have walked an extremely small portion of the trail... Mostly enjoying nature and the views via a car as the drive criss crosses the mountain ridge providing views both westward & eastward down into the Shenandoah Valley and the Piedmont Valley. But many people walk the A.T. in part,  through Shenandoah National Park or in a greater journey in part or whole that stretches from Georgia to Maine. 



Recently... a record time of 35 hours for the 101 mile trek.

Note: The green dotted line that runs parallel 
to the red line, Skyline Drive...
That's the Appalachian Trail
