National Parks & Recreation Shenandoah

Visit Shenandoah National Park including 300 square miles of
the Blue Ridge Mountains in the southern Appalachians. The park
rises above the Virginia Piedmont to its east and the Shenandoah
Valley to its west. Two peaks, Stony Man and Hawksbill, exceed
4,000 feet. The range of elevation, slopes and aspects, rocks and
soils, precipitation, and latitude create a mix of habitats. Tens of
thousands of living creatures make their homes in the park, from
black bear resting beneath rock overhangs, to tiny aquatic insects
darting through cool mountain streams. The parks many worlds
are fascinating to explore.
Most of Shenandoahs landscape is forested. In the process of photosynthesis, converting light, water, and minerals into foods, green plants
give off oxygen. From a distance this air-born water creates a faint haze giving the Blue Ridge its name. Hardwood forests dominate the park.
The forests are the result of many disturbances, some measured in geologic time, others in minutes. Remnants of boreal forests remind us
that continental glaciers came near. Strands of barbed wire embedded in trunks mark the edges of former pastures. Uprooted trees show the
path Tropical Storm Fran made in 1996.

Land of the Brave Exploring Colonial Virgina

Visit George Washingtons home away from home, the stately Mt.
Vernon, a beautiful Georgian townhouse with rust red roofs. After
winning the Revolutionary War, Washington returned to his civilian
role as a Virginia farmer. These 40 acres of landscaped grounds
include elaborate greenhouses and a family cemetery. Inside,
view lavishly decorated rooms with furnishings belonging to the
Washingtons.
Next, head to Old Town Alexandria, where in the early 1700s, the
prominent members of Virginia society were directly connected to
the thriving tobacco industry, as both merchants and planters. A
walk through Old Town takes you past many famous landmarks:
Carlyle House, the city hall Market Square, the Federal style Bank of Alexandria, and the 19th Century row houses.
Visit Gadsbys Tavern, a historic restaurant and museum which is actually two joined buildings: a two story Georgian tavern and a three
story Federal house. When it first opened as the finest public house in the young Capital City, all of the Founding Fathers dined here.
Enjoy lunch on your own at one of the many quaint restaurants on King Street and visit the numerous art galleries, including the Torpedo
Factory, home to more than 100 studios and galleries.
