And if you’re looking for a true fairytale experience, we’d recommend hiking none other than the Storybook Trail. This beautiful boardwalk trail is both easy and accessible, making it an adventure for every outdoor enthusiast. And the views? Incredible! Here’s more on the lovely Massanutten Storybook Trail.

What makes this trail truly magical, though, is the overlook at the end. While most scenic mountain views in Virginia require quite a hike, this gentle trail offers some of the best views in the region.
