@polebird: ✨ Take a Hike! The Stony Man Trail at Shendendoah National Park ✨
Ahhh, it is pure BLISS to relax at the top of a mountain after a trek up. Today's blog post features photographs taken from during my hike on the Stony Man trail of Shendendoah National Park, Virginia. My favorite part of the hike.... definitely the view from the cliffside!
It is most rewarding to hike. The way I think about it, your own legs are taking you to a destination that cannot even be accessed by car - how awesome! In this case, the Stony Man trail took us on a fun rocky climb to a scenic viewpoint. Hiking gives one the ability to gaze upon views or areas in nature that otherwise cannot be reached.
I was surprised to see a completely calm pool of water at the top of the rocky outcrop of Stony Man. It was actually just a puddle; some rainwater that had collected there, but the reflection of the clouds on the mirror-like water was just stunning.
Shenandoah National Park is a great outdoor escape to the mountains, and the Stony Man Trail was just one of many hiking routes to choose from. More on my other adventures in Shenandoah to come in future posts, so stay tuned. :D
Are you a fan of the outdoors? What's your favorite place you've visited?

Feels like you are falling from the sky..maybe you need someone to catch you when you come down..and wheres the sweet puppy today.lol @polebird
Heheh just in the sky! Watson unfortunately didn’t get to come on this particular trip
Nice photos, how I wish am close, I would have loved to go for a hike with you. Have fun
Thank you so much :)
You're most welcome @polebird
Looks so peaceful Jess, love it!
Thanks! It was pretty nice up there, not too many hikers either when I was there
Beautiful!
I love this although I'm scared of heights.
Hehe thanks! Heights give me a jittery type of feeling.. although I enjoy it! Loll
Beautiful scenery. Looks like you had fun recharging. That is not far from me at all in West Virginia.
Hehe yeah it was a nice trip! Beautiful landscape there, awesome that you live close by have you been?
No I have no been to that exact national park. However I have been to many other in this area that resemble that place somewhat.
Yeahh! The blue ridge mountains right? I think it extends a lot further than the park... nice!
Yes. Actually all of that big stretch of green is the Blue Ridge Mountains. They extend from Virginia all the way down through North Carolina and even the edge of Tennessee.
Yeah wow! Covers quite a lot of area
Quite massive indeed ⛰
These images are breathtaking! You really did have a great time.
Thank you so much!
If I wear that in Singapore for a hike I'll melt in a few minutes.
Hahaha I bet!
Beautiful! I wanna go on a hike so bad. Sadly it’s all flat land and some hills where I am. :/
Thank you :) hehe my area is actually the same way! Lucky that I get to do a bit of travelling, I usually try to stick in an outdoor adventure or two or more if weather/location permits :)
Beautiful!! :D
Thanks so much @ramengirl! 😊
