<p>We just recently went out with Captain Bo on a beautiful section of the Shenandoah River. It is a wider section of the river with deeper waters not too far from the dam. We took a couple of friends along and had a great time.</p>
<p>Captain Bo is an excellent host and very knowledgeable about the river and wildlife.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re looking for something fun to do while visiting the Luray, VA area than you&#8217;ll surely enjoy cruising along with no worries in Captain Bo&#8217;s pontoon boat.</p>
<p>He can take up to 6 people at a time. The boat landing is only about 10 minutes from Piney Hill Bed &amp; Breakfast and we&#8217;ll provide you directions if you&#8217;re one of our guests.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Hope to see you soon!</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Yesterday, after the guests checked out, Hank and I had the opportunity, to take in a Waterfall Hike. We went up to the Shenandoah National Park on the Skyline Drive; just past Milepost 49 and enjoyed Rose River Falls Loop Trail.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">The weather was beautiful and the many waterfalls along this 4 mile circuit was AMAZING. Once you get to the second bridge you have the opportunity to climb up to see the Dark Hollow Falls or you can continue on the fire road back to the Fishers Gap parking area.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Since it was one of our first hikes of the season we opted to continue on back to the parking area, LOL!</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Take a look at the pictures that we took along the trail by clicking on the individual picture to enlarge <img style="border:0;" src="http://www.cincopa.com/media-platform/api/thumb.aspx?fid=+AkCAzjaZCfUn&size=large" /></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hank and I have taken several hikes on Skyline Drive in the Shenandoah National Park.  There are so many hiking trails to choose from; easy to strenuous.</p>
<p>You can go to <a href="http://www.nps.gov/shen/planyourvisit/mapshiking.htm">www.nps.gov/shen/planyourvisit/mapshiking.htm</a> and print out hikes of interest. At the bottom of each map it will give you a description and difficulty of each hike.  You will want either the North or Central District hiking areas which are closest to us.</p>
<ul>
<li>If you&#8217;re limited on time, but want to enjoy an easy hike we recommend Stonyman Trail.  It is 1.6 miles round trip with a  gradual climb to a spectacular view.</li>
<li>Mary&#8217;s Rock is also a very nice trail to an outstanding view.</li>
<li>The Rapidan Trail takes you to the cabins that were once housed by President Hoover.</li>
<li>If you&#8217;re looking for an all day hike you might consider either Old Rag or White Oak Canyon.</li>
</ul>
<p><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">What ever hike you decide one thing is clear, you will feel completely destressed and rejuvenated afterwards. We hope you enjoy some of the photos we have taken on recent hikes. <strong><div class="ngg-galleryoverview"><div class="slideshowlink"><a class="slideshowlink" href="http://pineyhillbandb.com/blog/things-to-do/hike/?show=gallery">[Show picture list]</a></div>[[Show as slideshow]]</div>
