Spent a crisp fall afternoon at Lazy Bear Oaks updating their Airbnb photos — and let’s just say, the camera finally caught a bit of the magic everyone talks about. 🍁 Here is an example of the new photos coming soon to our listing.

Take a deep breath, close your eyes, exhale.

Imagine you are in a pristine wood, no sound of cars, no bothersome notifications, perhaps a small stream flowing by. You might call this imagined place Wilderness, where things are left to be wild. Shenandoah National Park preserves some of the largest wilderness areas in the east. What better way to experience the special magic of Wilderness than a hike within it. Please, especially in Wilderness, practice Leave No Trace principals and always come prepared for an outing in the park.

Here are three Wilderness hikes of varying lengths:

1. Turk Mountain (mile 94.1) is a gem of the south district at 2.2 miles round-trip and about 690 feet of elevation gain. Be sure to start on the correct trail because Turk Branch and Turk Gap are in the same area. Wonderful views, especially in the fall, will meet you at the top, but that is not all! Plenty of remanent American chestnut sprouts and the parks only fossils (skolithos tubes) are in abundance near the peak.

2. Rose River Falls loop (mile 49.4) is a 4-mile round-trip with 910 feet of elevation gain starting from Fishers Gap Overlook. Not all of this trail is in federally designated Wilderness, but good portions are. There is a lot to see along the trail such as the Cave cemetery, cascades below Dark Hollow Falls, remnants of a copper mine and, of course, Rose River Falls.

3. Nicholson Hollow Trail begins from the boundary near Old Rag parking. This trail passes for a short distance through private property -- please be courteous! The trail follows along Hughes River up the mountain slopes up to Skyline Drive. Take in the views of beautiful cascades as water flows around boulders. At 4 miles in and 1200 feet up, you will reach Corbin Cabin, one of the few structures remaining pre-park establishment.
