June brings with it many wonderful things: sunshine, Frisbee, twisty cones after supper, and an excuse to exclusively wear flip flops. For me, it brought the camping itch. I became restless and started seeking a weekend getaway away from city life.

With three days off from work (added to the weekend) I looked for a park that offered great hikes, affordable camping, possibilities for wildlife sightings, and easy accessibility by car. I found all that and more at Shenandoah National Park in Front Royal, VA. The trip began with some iffy weather but ended with over 300 pictures of unbelievable landscapes, historic buildings, adorable wildlife, and strenuous trails. Check out the itinerary and highlights of my trip; perhaps it will help shape your own trip to Shenandoah National Park.
