Introducing Shenandoah National Park
One of the most spectacular national parks in the country lies not 100 miles from Washington, DC. Every season in the park (540-999-2243; www.nps.gov/shen; week passes Dec-Feb per car/individual $10/5, Mar-Nov per car/individual $15/10) is like a new smile from nature: in spring and summer the wildflowers explode, in fall the leaves burn bright red and orange, and in winter a cold, starkly beautiful hibernation period sets in.
