The Shenandoah Valley /ˌʃɛnənˈdoʊə/ is a geographic valley and cultural region of western Virginia and the Eastern Panhandle of West Virginia in the United States. The valley is bounded to the east by the Blue Ridge Mountains, to the west by the eastern front of the Ridge-and-Valley Appalachians (excluding Massanutten Mountain), to the north by the Potomac River and to the south by the James River. The cultural region covers a larger area that includes all of the valley plus the Virginia highlands to the west, and the Roanoke Valley to the south. It is physiographically located within the Ridge and Valley province and is a portion of the Great Appalachian Valley.
Named for the river that stretches much of its length, the Shenandoah Valley encompasses nine counties in Virginia and two counties in West Virginia.
Thomas Jonathan "Stonewall" Jackson (January 21, 1824 – May 10, 1863) was a Confederate general during the American Civil War, and the best-known Confederate commander after General Robert E. Lee. His military career includes the Valley Campaign of 1862 and his service as a corps commander in the Army of Northern Virginia under Robert E. Lee. Confederate pickets accidentally shot him at the Battle of Chancellorsville on May 2, 1863. The general survived with the loss of an arm to amputation, but died of complications from pneumonia eight days later. His death was a severe setback for the Confederacy, affecting not only its military prospects, but also the morale of its army and of the general public. Jackson in death became an icon of Southern heroism and commitment, becoming a mainstay in the pantheon of the "Lost Cause".
Military historians consider Jackson to be one of the most gifted tactical commanders in U.S. history. His Valley Campaign and his envelopment of the Union Army's right wing at Chancellorsville are studied worldwide even today as examples of innovative and bold leadership. He excelled as well in other battles: the First Battle of Bull Run (First Manassas) where he received his famous nickname "Stonewall"; the Second Battle of Bull Run (Second Manassas); and the battles of Antietam, and Fredericksburg. Jackson was not universally successful as a commander, however, as displayed by his late arrival and confused efforts during the Seven Days Battles around Richmond in 1862.

Driving I-81 at exit 257, and followed Rt. 11 north through New Market, Mt. Jackson, and stopped filming in Woodstock (all VA). Large sections of Rt. 11 are considered a scenic byway but think Rt. 40. Before the interstate, this was the highway, so there's some sprawl in little towns and sections of it run right through Staunton, Harrisonburg and Roanoke, making it very congested decidedly non-scenic. This part above (check out the google map of the area) runs right along this big mountain ridge so it's lovely.
Shenandoah National Park encompasses part of the Blue Ridge Mountains in the U.S. state of Virginia. This national park is long and narrow, with the broad Shenandoah River and Valley on the west side, and the rolling hills of the Virginia Piedmont on the east. The scenic Skyline Drive is one of the most prominent features of the park. Almost 40% of the land area 79,579 acres has been designated as wilderness and is protected as part of the National Wilderness Preservation System. The highest peak is Hawksbill Mountain at 4,051 feet (1,235 m). -- Wikipedia

The beautiful Shenandoah Valley in 1861, just prior to invasion by the United States - and the death and destruction which the Federal army brought on the region. http://southernnationalist.com/blog/2011/06/03/the-shenandoah-valley-in-1861-imperiled-land-of-milk-honey/ "Everything had a thrifty look," wrote a Confederate soldier in the Shenandoah Valley in 1861. "The horses and cattle were fat and sleek; the large barns were overflowing with the gathered crops; the houses looked comfortable; and the fences were in splendid order. It was a truly a land of milk and honey." Nature had indeed been kind to this verdant strip of land between the Blue Ridge and Allegheny Mountains. Its hot springs and magnificent scenery attracted travelers from as far away as Europe.... The Indians who...

"Touring the Shenandoah Valley Backroads" by Andrea Sutcliffe has just been published. The book was first published in 1999. The author says you can ride on a back road in the Valley and often travel back 100 years.
The Shenandoah Valley/Gordonsville area in central Virginia is known for historic battlefields, picturesque horse farms, old churches and aristocratic homes. Often called the "Cradle of Democracy," three U.S. presidents lived here within miles of each other.

This video was taken during our fall vacation in Virginia on October 3, 2007. Our first excursion was to the town of Lexington, a historic settlement of about 7000 souls in the southern Shenandoah Valley. Lexington has a well preserved downtown and features two major academic institutions with impressive campuses: the Washington and Lee University and the Virginia Military Institute. The downtown streets are flanked by ecclectic retail stores in historic homes and the adjoining neighbourhoods are full of impressive mansions and mature trees. Our drive then took us east to the Blue Ridge Parkway, a scenic drive along the Appalachian Ridge that stretches 755 km (470 miles) from North Carolina to Virginia. Great mountain vistas opened up towards the west over the expansive Shenandoah Valle...
This video was taken on October 2 during our fall vacation in the Shenandoah Valley in Virginia. Somehow the name "Shenandoah" just has such a beautiful ring to it, no wonder, since it means "beautiful daughter of the stars". We were staying in a condo in Massanutten, a ski area and did a number of day trips. Our first trip took us to Harrisonburg, a historic Virginia town, 15 minutes west of Massanutten. I started by interviewing the travel expert at the Harrisonburg Tourism Office and then set off on a little walking tour of the town. The town features various historic homes, and one of the most impressive buildings is the court house whose roof is crowned by a statue of the goddess of justice. After a nice lunch at an outdoor cafe we continued our exploration and drove southwards ...
Fort Valley, Virginia is formed by the Massanutten mountain range, which divides the two forks of the legendary Shenandoah River. A new book examines the fascinating history of this isolated Valley. Research for the book project took over five years to complete. Co-author Margaret Trott talks about Fort Valley.

The 18th Annual Shenandoah Mountain 100 showcased the best trail conditions in the history of the event. Two new trail segments and four massive maintenance efforts made it a dream course. Thanks to the Shenandoah Valley Bicycle Coalition, the USFS and the Recreational Trails Program administered by the Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation for making this possible. HUGE props to Jack Anderson for creating the video and to Cameron Racing for sponsoring the production.
The aftermath of the Civil War brought many challenges to the residents of the Shenandoah Valley. In the fall of 1864, the war-torn region had been destroyed by Union General Phil Sheridan’s Blue-Coats during “the Burning,” and in the post-war period, the Valley’s residents not only had to deal with the economic recovery of their formerly-named “Breadbasket,” but also the political changes facing the nation. Park Ranger Shannon Moeck discusses how all the Valley’s civilians, including former slaves and Confederate veterans, adjusted and adapted to their new environment, then, while remembering their past, went about rebuilding their lives during this uncertain time.

For this episode we not only do a summer visit to Shenandoah National Park, but also add another member to the crew, Mike's 8 year old son. This will be his first hike, and hopefully we don't scare him off with the whole "endless walking and hard work" thing. Our specific area for this backpacking trip will be the South District of Shenandoah National Park, in the Federal Wilderness Area along Trayfoot Mountain. The time frame is late summer, August to be exact, which is exactly why we chose this region. The North District tends to be the more popular area of Shenandoah, due in part to it's higher elevations, along with the close proximity to Washington, DC. To use an analogy, the North District would be Virginia's version of New Hampshire's Presidential Range, while the South Distri...
