Yes, pictures please!!! I live in Northern VA and we go out to the Shenandoah all the time. Actually, there is far more than just that here in VA. I love all the places here but usually the farther west you go in the state the less crowded things are on trails. My favorite tho is Monongahela National Forest in eastern West Virginia, in specifically Dolly Sods / Roaring Plains / Bear Rocks, Spruce mountain including spruce knob... etc. Trust me when I say, if you think the Shenandoah are beautiful, the Allegheny's, especially the Dolly Sods area will blow your mind. Look forward to hearing more about your trip and seeing some photos! I guess I never really think much about any of the stuff out here being a "destination" because I live so close to it and visit it all the time.
