A Brief Guide To Shenandoah National Park
Shenandoah NP includes a part of Blue Ridge Peaks in US state of Virginia. Shenandoah National Park is narrow and long with large Shenandoah valley and river on the west side and Virginia Piedmont’s rolling hills on the east.
The scenic Skyline Drive is one of the most well-known features of this park and approximately 40 percent of the land area 79,579 acres is sheltered as part of National Wilderness Preservation System and has been selected as Wilderness. Hawksbill Mountain at 4051 feet is the highest peak.
On the west side of Skyline Drive, they are from northeast to southwest, Warren, Augusta, Page and Rockingham counties, while on the east side they are Rappahannock, Albemarle, Madison and Greene counties. Shenandoah was authorized in the year 1926 and fully established in 1935.
In the creation of the park, a number of entire communities and families were required to vacate the portions of Blue Ridge Mountains and most of the families removed came from Madison County, Rappahannock County and Page County. The early private facilities at Swift Run Gap, Skyland Resort and Panorama Resort were operated only for whites.
