Switch it Up: Hiking in Shenandoah National Park
When I first moved to Virginia, I have to admit, I was bitter. While I had only permanently lived in Seattle, Washington for less than a month, I had grown to love hiking in the mountains, the beaches and the general vibe of the city. But I was moving to Virginia BEACH, so I figured I couldn’t complain to much, right? I have to admit, I love running on the beach, but, I missed the cross training the Seattle landscape and hiking gave me.
Little did I know, my love of hiking didn’t have to disappear with my move to the right coast. A few weekends ago, I had a chance to visit Shenandoah National Park in Northwest Virginia.
Shenandoah National Park has more than 500 miles of trails including 101 miles of the Appalachian Trail. With so many trails to choose from, there’s definitely something for every fitness level and ability. The park is also dog friendly!
