Description

National Park Service

Shenandoah National Park

Back-country Permit Required - https://www.nps.gov/shen/planyourvisit/bc-permit.htm

Each year thousands of people spend a night or more in the Shenandoah’s backcountry. While visitors seek the backcountry for isolation, the cumulative actions of everyone in these areas can have dire effects on the resources we seek to enjoy. We can mitigate these effects by following Leave No Trace principles, as well as observing park backcountry regulations. The following regulations exist to keep Shenandoah's wilderness wild and untrammeled for you and for future generations of hikers and campers.

Secluded Paradise

Found this spot from a recommended list provided by Shenandoah park rangers, and I’m glad we choose this one. They have a variety of lists based on hiking ability and difficulty as well as camping ability and difficulty so I recommend checking that out. I choose this one, which was a moderate hike and an easy camp because I started out later in the day and didn’t want to set up in the dark which was a wise idea in hindsight as this campsite was not an easy find. We ended up looking around the summit for awhile before we found a good spot so be careful. However, the spot was perfect in every other way, secluded, a great view and full of wildlife.
