Activities in the Shenandoah Valley<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n

Luray Caverns<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

By far the biggest and the best (and most expensive of course). Great hedge maze, superb car museum, and a new local history museum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Skyline Caverns<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Much smaller and more intimate, avoid the crowds<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shenandoah National Park<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A 197,000 acre mountain wonderland. Great vistas from Skyline Drive and wonderful hiking trails.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Antiquing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Many options along beautiful old route 11 from Strasburg to Harrisonburg passing through many little towns preserved when traffic was diverted to Interstate 81 forty years ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Horseback Riding<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A number of liveries in the Valley let you exercise your backside<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Massanutten Water Park<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A large new indoor\/outdoor water park open year round<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Civil War Battlefields<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Civil War raged in the Shenandoah Valley, Winchester alone changed hands 72 times.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
