SHENANDOAH IS OFTEN skipped when it comes to must-see lists of national parks, and I understand why. The mountains are not as tall as ones found elsewhere, so other parks may have more dramatic cliff-edge views. There are also other parks that are more well-known for uniquely beautiful landscapes. And Shenandoah is not as steeped in history as some other parks, either.
However, I’m here to say Shenandoah National Park is as special, if not more than, the parks that find themselves at the top of those lists.
