The roughly 169 km road that runs along the crest of Shenandoah National Park, with dozens of overlooks, trails, and visitor areas such as Skyland and Big Meadows.
A waterfall of about 21 meters, reached by a short, steep trail from Big Meadows, the park’s central area with a visitor center and open fields.
A standalone mountain in the eastern part of the park, with a roughly 15 km loop trail and a long rock-scramble section over granite boulders to the summit.
