In May we spent 4 days in western Virginia in and around Shenandoah National Park. We had the opportunity to stay at our time share for a few days which is nearby. Our goal was to do some hiking in the park and also to take some pictures. The hiking is great but every trail begins on the top of Skyline Drive (on the ridgeline) so the last half of the hike is uphill to your car. We had good weather and were able to get some good pictures.
