My good friend Rob is heading out East for a family vacation and heading to Shenandoah NP for several days and is looking for some hiking suggestions (if you have read very many of my TRs, you know Rob well..http://www.summitpost.org/the-narrows/476038). I'm not that familiar with the park...but I know a number of SPers are, so here goes...
He has 3 daughters aged 7-9. Something in the 5-6 mile range is what he is looking for. Good summit hikes or waterfalls would be ideal...something with decent views so the girls can feel rewarded for their efforts! The girls have done some hiking...Abram Falls in GSMNP and some hiking around Seneca Rocks last year. I know that one of the girls is interested in some scrambling, so if there is a good hike with some introductory scrambling that would be good to know.
They will be entering the park from the north and spending two days up that way. The end of their trip will take them out via the south end of the park. So 2 hikes up north...1 down south. Thanks is advance...
