The Appalachian Trail runs through the heart of Shenandoah National Park and long the way it allows hikers to experience some of the best view not only in Shenandoah but in Virginia. Hiking the Appalachian Trail in 19 degrees weather, (before the wind chill), was totally worth it to watch such an amazing sunset from Little Stony Man in Shenandoah. I love hiking during the winter because the crisp cold air takes a way the haze on the horizon, making the views even more spectacular.
