Bounded on the east by the Blue Ridge Mountains and on the west by the Appalachians, the Shenandoah Valley is a region of exceptional natural beauty. This guide offers the best hikes that can be accomplished in the region in less than a day. Areas covered include Harper's Ferry, the North Virginia Piedmont, Shenandoah National Park, Jefferson National Forest, Massanuttens, Great North Mountain, and the Alleghenies. Hikes range from easy saunters of a few miles with little elevation gain, to challenging treks of over 10 miles through rugged terrain. Bearing evocative names such as Raven Rocks and Sky Meadows, Riprap Hollow and Devil's Marbleyard, the hikes in this book will get readers fired up for a trek into the Shenandoah wilds.

Some of the trail placements on the map locator are wrong
The organization and hike descriptions are great. We've made 4 hikes so far and found it very helpful and clear. One caution, however: we have discovered so far that 5 of the 50 dots (Dots 41, 42,43, 44 and 45) locating the trails on otherwise helpful Map Locator at the beginning of the book are wrongly placed. The more detailed and helpful descriptions on the descriptions of each trail seem quite good though. So just make sure that you double check before relying on the Map Locator to find maps in a particular area you are looking to visit.
