A mere 75 miles from Washington, D.C., Shenandoah National Park has over 200,000 acres of protected lands, where rocky peaks, cascading waterfalls, intriguing wetlands, fields of flowers and more await your exploration. More than 850 species of wildflowers cover the ground beginning in late March.
Expect to spot pastel-colored liverwort, white bloodroot, purple trillium, yellow and purple violets, wild geraniums and pink lady slippers in spring. By summer, columbines, ox-eye daisies and orange touch-me-nots come on the scene.
