A mountain park an hour away from northern Virginia. Shenandoah National Park is a very busy place in mid to late October. A similar view of trees (without the vistas that you see in Shenandoah) can make for a relaxing few hours enjoying the beauty of fall.

Farewell to a Decade

Virginia is a beautiful state. … Continue reading Autumn in Fort Valley
