Mountain Water Falls 

Worth the trip...

Worth the hike. 

Shenandoah National Park

Not only does the famed Appalachian Trail 

Traverse the park north to south,

But the park has 500 miles of trails

Within it boundaries. 

Many people hike those trails while visiting. 
Trial enthusiasts return to the park 

time and time again to hike different trails.

Their ultimate goal... hike all 500 miles.

Once completed, they earn a 500 mile patch. 
This is not my backpack or 500 patch. 
I wish I was able to complete that achievement. 
Many hikers enjoy nature,  and get the patches.
