The Skyline Drive in the Shenandoah National Park is one of the most breath-taking experiences you will ever treat yourself to. My sister, a 17-year missionary in Guatemala, is making a trip to stay with us in our condo at Massanutten VA, and the Internet pictures she pulled up of the Shenandoah Valley are much of the reason she and her husband are taking the time and funding the trip.
In addition, our mission as grandparents is to help our children and grandchildren enjoy as many of the national parks as possible in the next couple of decades. We have an open invitation for each of our three children and their families to stay with us at Massanutten because they owe it to themselves to visit DC and languish in the beauty of the Shendandoah National Park.
Sincerely,
Shenandoah National Park

The park preserves a remarkable slice of southern Appalachian natural history and beauty with a dazzling array of recreational opportunities.

Greetings from Shenandoah National Park
My best boy Winston and I stayed at Skyland and spent three days hiking in the park. The staff at the visitor center were so nice and helpful - pointing out hikes that were suitable for my "senior dog".
