Читать книгу Top Trails: Shenandoah National Park - Johnny Molloy - Страница 22

All of the trails described in this guide are suitable for hiking. Some of the trails can also be enjoyed by equestrians, though the number of horseback enthusiasts in Shenandoah is far outstripped by hikers. Very few trails see more than sporadic equestrian use, though the Skyland area offers guided rides during the warm season. Bicyclists are relegated to Skyline Drive and paved roads, except for a mile-long stretch of Rapidan Fire Road. Fishing is done primarily along backcountry streams.

Unlike most national parks, Shenandoah allows pets on the vast majority of its backcountry trails, provided they’re on a 6-foot leash. Certain paths that don’t allow pets are signed as such and are noted in the trails tables and elsewhere in the book.
