Tucked away in the breathtaking Shenandoah National Park awaits a seriously underrated trail with a magnificent feature. The Rip Rap Trail is a challenging undertaking at 9 miles round trip, but along the way you’ll enjoy stunning mountain scenery and a hidden turquoise lake at the base of a waterfall. In terms of natural beauty, it just doesn’t get much better than this wooded trek through the mountains.
