Two beautiful water falls hikes in Shenandoah National Park and a hiker story of dark happenings on the trail.

The best hikes are the ones that conjure old memories and create new ones. Beaver Trail Loop map, tips and photos plus some hiking memories.

Hitchhiking, picking up strangers and making new friends. It is all part of the Appalachian Trail backpacking experience!

What is in a trail name? A story! And a connection to a family of long distance hikers.
