1. Stony Man Mountain Hike

Reviewed By MarkUSNA1998 - Odessa, United States
After a much longer hike the day before, we wanted a shorter, easier one for our last day. Since this one is right next to Skyland where we we're staying, it was perfect. In short, it is easy to find the trail head, there was ample parking (at 10am), and it was a pretty easy hike up to the best view I have seen yet in the park. All in all I think it took is about an hour round trip, with about 15 minutes standing at the top. Highly recommended!

You have to drive through a neighborhood that turns into a farm to get to River Hill, but it is well worth tracking down. It is a pretty small operation as distilleries go, but the owners are really down to earth and enthusiastic. Pop is happy to give a tour of the unassuming place: there is the tap room, and the small room behind it is the distillery. "This is my vat, those over there are my barrels." The bourbon and corn whiskey he makes are all worth picking up. If they aren't the best you've had, you will appreciate the taste of down home honesty. My wife was happy to chat with Mom and sample the fruity wines they sell (yes, including Sweet Potato.) I find those type of wines good for desserts or pancakes, but my wife likes the occasional spritzer. They were out of one that my wife selected, but she got a kick out of watching Pop decant her bottle directly from a barrel, and he let her label it and put the seal over the cork. The property itself is pretty large, and they do a number of other things aside from the distillery. You can buy meat at the counter with your wine, and they also board horses and I understand they have a shooting range. This is a place you want to visit just so you can recognize it when some author inevitably includes it as a setting in a novel.
3. Luray Caverns
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 4,625 reviews
Discover Eastern America’s largest and most popular caverns. 4,000,000 centuries in the making, this “must see” U.S. Natural Landmark is noted for the profuse variety of formations and unsurpassed natural color. One hour tours from well-lighted, paved walkways lead visitors through cathedral-sized rooms with ceilings 10 stories high. Enormous chambers are filled with towering stone columns, shimmering draperies and crystal-clear pools. Also in this subterranean wonderland, “hear rocks sing” as you experience the haunting sounds of the world’s largest musical instrument, The Great Stalacpipe Organ. Completely unique are the beautiful tones created by this one-of-a-kind instrument, which makes music of concert quality from the surrounding stalactite formations covering more than three acres.

My best friend was there 30 years ago with her parents and couldn't wait to bring her son and me and my daughter there to see it and as soon as we went down the steps into the cavern, I was in awe of the beauty that this natural wonder is. Our tour guide, Phillip, was a very knowledgeable and friendly young man that answered every question we asked and even have us some great ideas for where to hike in Shenandoah Valley when we asked him. The food concessions were very reasonably priced and tasty and the prices in the gift shop were surprisingly reasonable as well. I would highly recommend this trip to anyone.

This paved path is a great way to enjoy the wildlife that likes to live along water and is the perfect 5K. I walk/jog it often and the Town of Luray staff keep it looking great and there are 2 nice bathroom facilities along the route. They have doggie bags available to pick up after your pets should you want to exercise with your 4 legged friend.

I could spend hours here. Great place for families to reconnect, and teach their youngen’s, about a clean, fun family show full of humor, excitement and The General Lee. The gift shop is abundant with a variety of options, including a huge selection of hats, tshirts, stickers, license plates and more. Then head over to the museum, that is free, to watch episodes of the show, get an up-close view of Cooters garage, Boss Hogs car, Daisy’sJeep and more. You can even climb inside of the General Lee outside !!

The five of us were on vacation over Thanksgiving and decided to give this a try. We shared a flight of the seven on tap varieties available plus they had non-alcoholic root beer which my really son enjoyed. At the time they had a coffee stout and a red ale which I enjoyed. There was a great variety of people there from the hipsters to the older crowd. The staff was very pleasant, quick and helpful... would definitely return the next time we're in the area.

Luray zoo does not maintain this sight this is a third party sight for accurate information on hours etc see website
Reviewed By Sev1579 - Stanardsville, United States
For the area, this is a great place to visit. If you go in expecting the DC Zoo or even Richmond, you will be let down, however, for a small town this is great. I thought the reptile section was as good as any zoo, it was really good. The monkeys were also fun to watch. It has a pretty large feeding area with some goats and sheep. We spent about 30 minutes there. Price was 10 dollars and I thought it was pretty much on point with what we got. The parking lot was a touch of a pain, its pretty small.
