Shenandoah National Park – Skyline Drive
I think that this park would be worthwhile even if you were unable to hike a single trail – Skyline Drive is such a mesmerizing drive.
James H “Sloppy” Floyd State Park
Some of our parks are not exotic destinations, but rather small pockets of greenspace in their community that offer outdoor leisure to the locals. Most of these parks would not be on a vacation list, but they make for perfectly acceptable ways to spend some time in the sun amongst friends.
