Today I went on a hike in Shenandoah down to Piney River Falls. The trail head is just past mile 22 on the right going North. The in-and-out option is little less than 7 miles, but there is also a circuit option. It was a good hike to start the season off with since it was a pretty easy one with only about a 900 ft elevation gain. Plus, it doesn't seemed to be a hike that's well-known so it was relatively crowd free. The trail starts out with a gentle decent down into the valley with couple of easy river crossings (due to all the recent rain). The falls is quite easy to miss though since it's a bit away from the main trail. It might be especially hard to find once the trees are full of leaves. I enjoyed the falls a lot. I ate my lunch right in front of it with the above view.
