Description

To access this walkway, park at the Big Meadows, Harry F. Byrd Sr. Visitor Center parking area. The walkway begins near the northwest corner of the parking area across the street from the Wayside shop. The walkway continues north to the Big Meadows Campground, providing access to other offshoot trails, such as Story of the Forest Trail and Skyland-Big Meadows Horse Trail, along the way.

Thanks to Larry W. Brown, for sharing this description. If you’re interested in learning more details about great runs, weather, camping / lodging, wildlife, and scenic drives, check out the comprehensive Guide to Shenandoah National Park.
