6 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 Gordonsville (The Exchange Hotel Civil War medical Museum & Horton Vineyards), James Madison's Montpelier (in Montpelier Station) and James Madison Museum (in Orange). There's still lots to do: do a tasting at Barboursville Vineyards and Historic Ruins, take in the awesome beauty at Hawksbill Mountain, tour the pleasant surroundings at Old Rag Mountain Hike, and take in the dramatic scenery at Dark Hollow Falls.
