You can enter Shenandoah at four places: Front Royal near Rt. 66 and 340, Thornton Gap at Rt. 211, Swift Run Gap at Rt. 33, and Rockfish Gap at Rt. 64 and Rt. 250 (also the northern entrance to the Blue Ridge Parkway).

Dark Hollow water falls -> Tip from a traveler : Don’t take the official route but ask for An easier route is to walk down the gravel Rose River Fire Road (a far more gradual grade) and then walk up to the falls. I even saw a bear on the fire road.
