5 days in Shenandoah National Park Itinerary

Shenandoah National Park showcases a particularly scenic section of Virginia's Blue Ridge Mountains.

Venture out of the city with trips to Grand Caverns (in Grottoes), Massanutten Indoor WaterPark (in McGaheysville) and SoLace Studios Fine Handcrafts (in Elkton). There's much more to do: hike along Old Rag Mountain Hike, steep yourself in history at James Madison's Montpelier, take in the dramatic scenery at Dark Hollow Falls, and learn about winemaking at Barboursville Vineyards and Historic Ruins.

Expect a daytime high around 76°F in May, and nighttime lows around 55°F. Cap off your sightseeing on the 29th (Fri) early enough to travel back home.
