Virginia Part 3 - Shanandoah National Park

After spending the night at the Grace Evangelical Lutheran Church Hostel in Waynesboro, VA, Sonshine was back on the trail. She met several hikers she knew in the town of Waynesboro and on the trail heading out of town. She entered into Shenandoah National Park (SNP), her first day back on the trail.

Shenandoah National Park, (SNP) is the home to Skyline Drive, wild turkey, white tailed deer, black bears and shelter mice. In addition to the AT, the park includes nearly 400 miles of other trails. The AT crosses over Skyline Drive 45 times. There are Wayside Grills that serve breakfast, lunch and dinner. Many of the hikers like to stop and eat at the Waysides and not carrying food through the park.
