Shenandoah National Park

It was my great pleasure to spend a wonderful long weekend with 2 amazing & adventurous friends in Virginia's gorgeous Shenandoah National Park!  What a treat!  I seriously had an amazing time!

River bath on Day 2, haha



We all cramped into a tent and spent our first day on a short hike to some falls and enjoyed the beauty of the Shenandoah Valley.

On the second day we ventured up Old Rag Mountain which included a significant rock scramble portion.  I've done a LOT of hiking and backpacking, and I think that this was honestly the coolest, most fun day hike I have EVER been on.  And that is saying something!

On the last day we explored some HUGE local caverns and caves, which was pretty cool.

On the way home we even stopped for some delicious local BBQ at a little roadside restaurant + got some ice cream (you know that was a highlight for me!)-- so good!

I'll let the photos tell the story...


We saw bears!!
