  • Goshen Pass/Jump Rock Hike
    Goshen Pass/Jump Rock - Goshen, VA Length Difficulty Streams Views Solitude Camping 9.1 mls N/A Hiking Time: 4.5 hours with half hour for lunch Elev. Gain: 1,600 ft Parking: Park at a gravel lot on the north side of Virginia Route 39. 37.94834, -79.46026 By Trail Contributor: Jeff Monroe IMPORTANT NOTE: Several parts of this hike, including the parking area, are located in a Virginia Wildlife Management Area, which requires a permit. The Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries (DGIF) requires an Access Permit for visitors to department-owned Wildlife Management Areas (WMAs) and public fishing lakes for anyone age 17 and older, unless they possess a valid Virginia hunting, freshwater fishing, or trapping license, or a current Virginia boat registration. All hikers who are age 17 and older who do not possess one of these permits will need an access permit for this hike. You can find information on obtaining a permit here. This is one of the best but underused hike loops in Virginia. Perhaps it is due to the access permit, but this hike is well worth the current $4 daily fee. It could be because it is a tough trail and the directions are sometimes confusing – hopefully this description will help. Or maybe it is because the scariest part of the entire loop is at the beginning and end: crossing the appropriately named Swinging Bridge over the Maury River – can’t help you there! But this hike features three different vistas with wonderful views that would each be worth hiking to on their own, and each view is in a different direction.

    National Park Service Cultural Landscapes Inventory 1999 Revised 2006 Piney River Shenandoah National Park Table of Contents Inventory Unit Summary & Site Plan Concurrence Status Geographic Information and Location Map Management Information National Register Information Chronology & Physical History Analysis & Evaluation of Integrity Condition Treatment Bibliography & Supplemental Information Piney River Shenandoah National Park Inventory Unit Summary & Site Plan Inventory Summary The Cultural Landscapes Inventory Overview: CLI General Information: Cultural Landscapes Inventory – General Information The Cultural Landscapes Inventory (CLI) is a database containing information on the historically significant landscapes within the National Park System. This evaluated inventory identifies and documents each landscape’s location, size, physical development, condition, landscape characteristics, character-defining features, as well as other valuable information useful to park management. Cultural landscapes become approved inventory records when all required data fields are entered, the park superintendent concurs with the information, and the landscape is determined eligible for the National Register of Historic Places through a consultation process or is otherwise managed as a cultural resource through a public planning process. The CLI, like the List of Classified Structures (LCS), assists the National Park Service (NPS) in its efforts to fulfill the identification and management requirements associated with Section 110(a) of the National Historic Preservation Act, National Park Service Management Policies (2001), and Director’s Order #28: Cultural Resource Management. Since launching the CLI nationwide, the NPS, in response to the Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA), is required to report information that respond to NPS strategic plan accomplishments. Two goals are associated with the CLI: 1) increasing the number of certified cultural landscapes (1b2B); and 2) bringing certified cultural landscapes into good condition (1a7).
