The Appalachian Trail runs through the heart of Shenandoah National Park and along the way it allows hikers to experience some of the best views not only in Shenandoah NP but also Virginia. Hiking the Appalachian Trail in 19 degree (before wind chill) weather was worth it to watch such an amazing sunset while is Shenandoah. I love hiking during the winter because the crips cold air takes away the haze on the horizon, making the view even more spectacular.

Inspiration

The Appalachian Trail runs through the heart of Shenandoah National Park and long the way it allows hikers to experience some of the best view not only in Shenandoah but in Virginia. Hiking the Appalachian Trail in 19 degrees weather, (before the wind chill), was totally worth it to watch such an amazing sunset from Little Stony Man in Shenandoah. I love hiking during the winter because the crisp cold air takes a way the haze on the horizon, making the views even more spectacular.

Make sure you stay up to catch the best light at sunset. Use a tripod and a cable release (or your cameras self timer to make sure there is no camera shake. For photo tips and to check out more of my work go to www.blueridgeimagery.com
