MOUNTAIN ESSENTIALS: "WHAT TO PACK"
For the Trails
Layers: Mountain weather changes fast. Bring a light rain shell and a fleece, even in summer.
Footwear: Sturdy hiking boots or trail runners. Shenandoah trails can be rocky!
Hydration: Reusable water bottles to stay hydrated while hiking!
Navigation: Cell service can be spotty in the National Park; we recommend downloading offline maps or grabbing a paper map at the entrance gate.
For the River & Outdoors
Water Shoes: The Shenandoah River bottom is rocky—flip-flops will likely float away!
Bug Spray & Sunscreen: Essentials for the Greenway or a day on the water.
Headlamp/Flashlight: It gets dark in the valley! Great for late-night stargazing or evening strolls.
For the House
Groceries: While we have great restaurants in the area, we recommend stopping at the Luray Food Lion or Walmart on your way in to stock up on your favorite drinks and snacks!
Log-ins: We provide high-speed Wi-Fi and a Smart TV, so remember your Netflix or Hulu credentials!
