- Join us in this episode as we enjoy an amazing day hiking, sight-seeing, rock scrambling and eating in Shenandoah National Park in Virginia. We did 7 fun things along Skyline Drive in the middle portion of the park during our day which allowed us to see mountaintops, waterfalls and much more. Our meal at the Big Meadows Lodge was DELICIOUS and included a couple of signature items that you'll definitely want to check out. As always, stick around for our usual JUST FOR FUN bloopers and silliness at the end. Let's go!

Amazing! Love hearing all the birds, views and waterfalls. So peaceful and green! Prayers for continued safe travels on the second half of your journey.
Thanks for the encouragement, Michelle! It really does make us smile. We love all the natural sounds too. This really was a beautiful, peaceful national park. Thanks for your prayers! We can hardly believe that half of our camper van year is over. Time flies!
That first summit view is absolutely gorgeous! The second isn't too shabby either. Thank you for sharing your adventures.
Thanks, Bob! This park is so beautiful! And it was nice to be able to get to two summits on such short hikes.
The water falls are beautiful and the sounds very relaxing!
We love waterfalls, and this park had some beautiful ones. We had driven through here before but had never stopped. So glad we were able to get out and explore this time. Thanks for watching and commenting, Duane. It puts smiles on our faces to hear from you!
Y’all never disappoint! Beautiful waterfalls and I loved the views from the summits!
Thanks, Renee! You know we love the waterfalls. And these views- so much green! We really enjoyed our day at Shenandoah.
Hello there! Another great adventure in the books! Here are my top 5!
1. Bearfence Trail - You both make rock climbing look so easy and I know isn't. You both got skills.
2. Waterfalls - Nothing more beautiful and peaceful then the sounds of waterfalls.
3. Big Meadows Lodge - the food and dessert all looked scrumptious!
4. Rose River Trail - I loved how green everything was. Beautiful trees and cascade waterfalls.
5. Hawksville and Stony Mountain - those views were absolutely stunning!
We visited Shenandoah National Park years ago and just drove through. It was beautiful doing that, but to really experience it, you need to get out and hike. We loved these trails! The rock scrambling was a lot of fun, the waterfalls were beautiful, the mountaintops were spectacular. Oh, and the food was pretty good too. Thanks, Teresa, for your Top 5. We think they are our Top 5 also.
More amazing views! Always love the summits and the rock scrambles. So much fun😀 keep the adventures coming. Prayers for your journeys!
Thanks for the prayers! They are always appreciated. This park is just so green and beautiful and a great place to get out play on some rocks. And you can summit the tallest peak without hiking for miles and miles.
It’s nice to see what you guys are doing! Gives us a chance to see some beautiful areas! 💜
Thanks for being a part of our journey, Sean! We are really enjoying visiting places that we've been before and especially the places that we have never seen. So amazed at God's creativity!
Hey guys, your videos are fun to watch and well put together, I watched 2 and signed up.
I'm looking forward to your Hurricane Ridge video, where we met, it's fun meeting other TH-camr's in the wild. I'm ahead so mine is 3 videos out.
Thanks Dave! It was great meeting ya out there. We took a quick look at your channel and love what we see. Subscribing now under my (Jimmy) personal account to follow your adventures.
Very pretty hike. Like how everything was so darn green.
The dessert looked yummy.
Keep sharing those awesome adventures.
God Bless
Thanks for watching, Matt! It really was SO green. Layers and layers of green. And the dessert was delicious! Thanks for following our journey! We love hearing from you.
A mile south on the AT from Hawksbill is Franklin Cliffs, a must see.
Thanks! The next time we are there we will check it out.
Great stuff...but... Laying on couch > Dangerous rock scrambling :) Ha.
Haha! One of us (Paula) might agree with that statement. Thanks for watching and encouraging us, Lincoln!
I saw u guys at mt Shasta mall area in Redding California wish I could've said hi
Yes! That would have been fun. We loved the Redding area. So. many outdoor places to visit!
Great views and waterfals. I really thought Stoney Man was the best. Nothing can beat the wonder's of God's Glory in nature. CS Lewis said, " There are far better things ahead, than any we leave behind." Your Mission is proof of this statement and it will keep getting better.
"We'll travel on, over mountains so high
We'll go through valleys below
Still through it all we'll find that
This is the greatest journey
That the human heart will ever see
The love of God will take us far
Beyond our wildest dreams"
Shenandoah was gorgeous! It had a little bit of everything--waterfalls, mountaintops, good food--all of our favorite things. And these lyrics are from one of our favorite SCC songs.We are on the great adventure indeed. Dan, thanks for watching and for the encouragement!
