The S H E N A N D OA H VA L L E Y comprises six cities and dozens of small towns and stretches 140 miles across the Blue Ridge and Allegheny Mountains. With world-class outdoor assets like Shenandoah National Park, the Appalachian Trail, the Blue Ridge Mountains, Natural Bridge State Park, Luray and Shenandoah Caverns and two ski resorts, the Valley will keep outdoor lovers active by hiking, biking, skiing and paddling their way across the region. On the Fields of Gold Farm Trail, travelers can tour working farms and orchards, then feast on a locally grown meal at one of the many farm-to-table restaurants found throughout the region. From small towns to outdoor adventures and the flourishing culinary scene, travelers will find it easy to stay busy in the Valley.

PLAN A SPRING VISIT TO WINCHESTER to catch the Shenandoah Apple Blossom Festival with its parades, runs, concerts and more. While you’re there, take in world-class art exhibits at the Museum of the Shenandoah Valley.

CATCH A CONCERT, EXHIBIT OR WORKSHOP at Barns of Rose Hill in Berryville, or bring an instrument to one of the free jams hosted weekly by this cutting-edge center for the arts housed in renovated dairy barns.

RENT A CABIN at Shenandoah River State Park in Bentonville and enjoy rolling terrain, scenic river access and views of Massanutten Mountain. Make the short drive to Luray, Cabin Capital of the World, to see the stunning formations of Luray Caverns and enjoy the sounds of the “stalacpipe” organ.

CRUISE THE WINDING SKYLINE DRIVE through Shenandoah National Park. Keep your eyes peeled for turkeys, black bears, deer and other wildlife. Over 70 overlooks invite you to spectacular views, and give easy access to trails and waterfalls.

GO ADVENTURING YEAR-ROUND at Bryce Resort. Take a lesson in downhill mountain biking or snowboarding, hit the zipline and don’t forget to reserve your tee time! Disc golf, fling golf and Lake Laura beach are family favorites.

MAKE TIME FOR AMERICAN CELEBRATION ON PARADE at Shenandoah Caverns, where you’ll see an impressive collection of floats from Inaugural parades, Rose Bowl parades and more. Don’t forget Main Street of Yesteryear, a restored collection of animated window displays from the 1940s and 1950s. And, of course, tour the caverns!

CATCH A SHOW AT THE FORBES CENTER for the Performing Arts at James Madison University in Harrisonburg. While you’re there, stop in to see Hugo Kohl’s Museum of American Jewelry Design and Manufacturing Company, the only one of its kind in the United States. Guests can browse the retail store while watching artists create in the workshop, and even create custom pieces to memorialize their visit. Relax at the Village Inn and don’t forget your homemade ice cream treat from Kline’s Dairy Bar downtown, an establishment since 1943.

EXPERIENCE A SHAKESPEARE PLAY in Staunton (we say “Stan-ton”) at Blackfriars Playhouse, the “world’s only re-creation of Shakespeare’s indoor theater.” While you’re there, be sure to visit the Frontier Culture Museum for a taste of the lifestyles of early immigrants. Book a Beerwerks Package at the restored Stonewall Jackson Hotel, right in downtown Staunton, and visit the 14 breweries on the Beerwerks Trail. Or stay at the imposing Blackburn Inn, a recently renovated complex with a fascinating history, dating to 1828. The central spiral staircase to the roof is a must-see!

VISIT VIRGINIA’S NEWEST PARK and one of its oldest attractions at the same time! Natural Bridge is a towering limestone causeway, once owned by Thomas Jefferson. The park includes caverns, hiking trails, a hotel, Monacan Indian Village and more. Feed the ostriches at Natural Bridge Safari Park where you’ll see exotic animals up close and personal.

ENJOY A CONCERT OR PLAY at Lexington’s Lime Kiln Theater, an outdoor theater experience in a genuine, turn-of-the-20th-century limestone quarry.
