Virginia is home to 544 miles of the Appalachian Trail

That's more miles than any other state! Whether hiking through a small section of untamed wilderness or conquering the entire Appalachian Trail, create your own perspective and discover the endless beauty that is Virginia.


101 miles of the A.T. lie in the beautiful Shenandoah National Park and parallel Skyline Drive. The A.T. also parallels the famous Blue Ridge Parkway, goes through Mount Rogers National Recreation Area in George Washington & Jefferson National Forests, and ends in Damascus, known as Trail Town USA, where the trail goes right down its main thoroughfare.

What does the Appalachian Trail in Virginia mean to you?



We asked dozens of AT hikers about their experience on the trail in Virginia, and they didn't hold back.
