🍁Shenandoah National Park in Virginia is a little known national treasure. It is a must-see destination especially during the Autumn/Fall season, Sept/Oct/Nov months when the Fall Foliage dazzles the mountainside and takes your breath away!
🏞A drive through the Shenandoah National Park is on the iconic 105 miles Skyline Drive along the Blue Ridge Mountains. You’re in for a treat when you stop at the Overlook Points, and there are over 70 of those!!! A spectacular kaleidoscope of rolling mountains and lush gold, orange, yellow and green foliage awaits!
🦌🦅Shenandoah National Park is home to a diverse wildlife population including black bears, deer, and lots of birds and insects.
🌰Red oak and chestnut trees dominate 95 percent of the park.
🌲If you love the outdoors, take a hike and explore the picturesque trails.
🐕🦺Dogs are welcome on some trails and must be on leash.
Vacation with Wild Horses of Assateague Island, close to the beach town of Ocean City, Maryland and 3 hours drive from Washington, DC!
Best Kept Secret! Biodiversity Hotspot for Camping, RV, beach goers, hiking, kayaking, fishing, clamming, crabbing, bird watching, watching wildlife and horses!
🐴Assateague Island is home to over 300 wild horses/wild ponies that roam freely.
🐞Assateague Island National Seashore is a 50-mile beach which runs from Ocean City to Chincoteague wildlife refuge on the Eastern Shore of Maryland just a few miles south of Ocean City. It is about a 3-hour drive from Washington, DC. I first learned about these beautiful wild ponies/horses from reading the famous book Misty of Chincoteague.
💕 🐴Expect to see the wild horses roaming freely on the beach and salty marshes of Assateague Island. These wild Spanish horses have lived on the island for over 300 years. Assateague Island is also a protected wildlife refuge with a diverse flora and fauna population, and also home to migratory birds. 🦋Assateague Islands is a great day trip with the family. You can relax on the beach or if you’re adventurous you can try the wilderness camping opportunities as well as regular tent and RV camping but reserve well in advance as it gets booked up really fast. Mosquito repellent is a must.
🦆There are no hotels on the island, the closest hotels are in the nearby seaside beach town of Ocean City, Maryland. 🐿Activities include fishing, clamming, crabbing, kayaking, biking, trekking the trails, bird watching, looking for sea shells, kite flying and many more.
🌼There is an entrance fee. Waived for certain status.
🌞Be sure to get there early to avoid the long lines waiting to pay the entrance fee to the park.
🐴Do NOT get close to the wild horses. Do NOT feed or attract the wild horses.
