Shenandoah National Park
Shenandoah National Park follows the crest and eastern slopes of Virginia’s Blue Ridge Mountains, protecting a long, narrow landscape of forests, ridges, streams, and mountain valleys. The park stretches along Skyline Drive, a scenic road that provides access to numerous overlooks and trailheads. Elevations vary considerably across the park, creating changes in vegetation and climate over relatively short distances.

Calvinia
Calvinia is a small town in the Northern Cape’s Hantam Karoo, surrounded by a dry landscape of wide plains, rocky hills, and hardy shrubs.
