McGaheysville
This is my pick for the best hike in Virginia. Check out TravelAwaits’ picks for the best hikes in all 50 states here. Shenandoah National Park, extending across the Blue Ridge Mountains, is located northwest of Charlottesville and includes 200,000 acres divided by the Skyline Drive. This spot is well known as a hiker’s paradise, with more than 500 miles of trails.
The Whiteoak Canyon Trail is one of Shenadoah’s most popular routes, and for good reason. There are six gorgeous waterfalls along this stretch. While the entire circuit includes a 2,800-foot gain and 7 tough miles, you can easily break up the hike into less strenuous routes.
