Whatโs your happy place? Iโve found mine at Breaks Interstate Park
Breaks Park is always the perfect getaway for me to reset and recharge. The serene lakefront cabins and stunning mountain scenery makes The Breaks a natural haven in the heart of the Appalachian Mountains.
Iโve got a full hiking itinerary planned, plus a new podcast episode coming soon about hiking at The Breaks, so be sure to follow Virginia Outdoor Adventures AND Breaks Interstate Park to start planning your next mountain getaway!
VAOA listener, Shay biking on the Virginia Capital Trail (Top/Left) and Shayโs oil painting of the James River (Bottom/Right).
Shay says: โI grew up in the tidewater region of Virginia and enjoy all of Virginia's outdoor wonders from the ocean to the mountains. I live in Richmond where I explore the river by paddle boarding and rafting, biking gravel trails, and taking walks along the river with my boyfriend and pups. With a lifelong love of nature and mindfulness, I am combining the two by pursuing a master's degree in counseling to become a nature therapist. When Iโm not adventuring outside or doing schoolwork you can find me listening to my favorite VAOA podcast while painting nature scenes.โ

''I personally think that October is a great time to hike Shenandoah National Park! The foliage and weather are amazing! My sister and I (Top/Left) hiked around the Lewis Camp area the first day. Then we hiked from Lewis Camp area to Big Meadows Camp area. It ended up being a 10 mile hike but the scenery was breathtaking! Hiking is good for my soul! I feel at peace in the mountains!โ

"I'm a Virginia native, raised in Hampton Roads and now living in the Richmond area. Although I love to travel to far-off places, home will always have my heart - from the mist-covered peaks of the Appalachian Mountains, to the tranquil shores of the Chesapeake Bay. Whether sailing, canoeing, camping, hiking, birdwatching, or just basking in nature, l enjoy finding hidden gems and new things to do in our state. The Virginia Outdoor Adventures podcast is a favorite source for great ideas!"
