Shenandoah National Park

Earlier today I drove along Skyline Drive in Shenandoah National Park. The park - and the parts of Virginia I've so far seen - are quite attractive.

I briefly stopped to do the Bearfence Mountain trail, a fairly short and easy 2nd class scramble up to a 360 degree and a 180 degree viewpoint. The views were pretty good, but bear in mind the 360 degree viewpoint comes before the other one.

I was able to make it a little more interesting by trying to use my hands as little as possible and by going off the trail a bit for a little 3rd class stretch. There were many flesh pylons on the trail - including one who made a couple cellular phone calls - so it wasn't exactly a wilderness experience.

There's a big step on the trail that I chimneyed, and also right on the trail is an overhang that can be used to traverse down to the trail rather than stepping down.
