Shenandoah NP and George Washington NF along the Blue Ridge. Oak-hickory forests dominate ridgetops; tulip poplar, white ash, and basswood fill cove forests. Old apple orchards in the hollows are classic morel ground. Stream bottoms along the South Fork Shenandoah produce reliably. Skyline Drive provides elevation-gradient access.
