Description

The Greenway Trail is a short trail that is part of the Shenandoah 500. This trail is easy to find once you know where it is because it is unmarked on Skyline Drive. The Greenway Trail is hidden in plain sight and does not have a concrete post or another marker to identify it. There are a few interesting things to see.
