Shenandoah National Park Warnings Or Dangers Tips by Shihar Top 5 Page for this destination

Stay on the trails

There are people that seem to be bored with ordinary clear cut trail paths. There are signs and warnings all over the park reminding hikers to stay on the trail for safety.

Yet, we saw an older hiker in the middle of hemlock brush near a waterfall with his worried spouse pleading for him to return to the trail before he fell backwards down the mountain.

Slippery when wet

When hiking make sure you have proper foot attire. The rocks are very slippery especially after a light rain..

Obey the speed limit- 35mph

Please obey the speed limit. There are deer everywhere!. We witnessed several cars flying (especially motorcycles) along Skyline Drive.
