Shenandoah National Park
With the Big Meadows wetland, cascading waterfalls and rocky ridges, Shenandoah is capturing the attention of national park explorers, with interest in park tours here up nearly 20% compared to last year.
The park takes in over 100 miles of the Appalachian Trail, which provides ramblers with panoramic views of pastoral land, through to mountain streams and wooded glades.
Particularly popular with walkers (there are over 500 miles of trails within the park), the park has a charming wildlife scene, thanks to it being the perfect natural habitat for white-tailed deer, grey squirrels, spotted skunks, voles, moles, frogs and big brown bats.
Our palette picks out the peachy pinks of Shenandoah sunrises, as well as the grey blue hazes seen from too much light scattering. The rich browns of the chestnut and red oak forests are also picked out in our Shenandoah palette.
