The drive by the Shenandoah National Park took us to the top where everything looked small and insignificant. The grandeur is another thing by itself. We made a few stops along the way at our favorite overlooks and stopped at Big Meadows to spend some time. I for one got on the hiking trail and spent some quiet time. When next we go, I promise to visit the park's wilderness area. It offers outstanding opportunity for solitude and recreation. But before you cock your head and start thinking “Weirdo”. Wilderness offers respite from hectic daily life and provides natural habitat for wildlife and wildflowers. I sure would love to contemplate the human history held within the mountains. That will be nice, wouldn’t it?
