The Cool Spring Battlefield (often referred to as the Shenandoah River Campus at Cool Spring Battlefield) is a historical location from the Civil War. There is a lot of history to learn about here, and there are informational signs with a guided walking tour if you are interested. The paths around the property are smooth and easy to follow, so anyone in the family can likely get out for this walk.

The section of the Appalachian Trail leading to the Sam Moore Shelter is super well-marked with signs and blazes. The shelter, itself, is a standard primitive shelter that resembles many of the others you'll find along the trail in Virginia and is down a short spur trail. It comes with a fire ring and a separate picnic area (don't eat inside the shelter!).

Buzzard Hill is one of many lower summits you can hit while hiking this section of the Appalachian Trail. The summit only reaches up to 1,301 feet, but it's higher than many of the surrounding foothills, so you get a pretty good view down into the valley from the lookout area. No matter which direction you come from, be prepared for a hilly hike both during your approach and your return.

Bears Den Overlook is a really popular lookout spot along the Appalachian Trail. The viewpoint peers over the Shenandoah River Valley from some rocky outcrops. There is a nearby hostel and parking lot at Bears Den Park that you can loop around during your hike.

The Shenandoah River flows through both the Shenandoah and Page valleys. Flanked by the Appalachians on the west side of the Blue Ridge Mountains, the river winds beautifully through rolling, rugged landscapes. Limestone underlays the river which has led to the creation of caves. You can visit some of them such as Luray Caverns and Shenandoah Caverns.

The Appalachian Trail is one of the most important hiking routes in America. It runs on the Appalachian chain on the east coast of the United States of America.
