Shenandoah National Park extends along the Blue Ridge Mountains in the U.S. state of Virginia. The Skyline Drive runs its length and a vast network of trails includes a section of the long-distance Appalachian Trail. Mostly forested the park features wetlands waterfalls and rocky peaks like Hawksbill and Old Rag mountains. Shenandoah is home to many bird species plus deer squirrels and the elusive black bear. In 2010 the United States Mint began issuing 56 quarter-dollar coins featuring designs depicting national parks and other national sites as part of the United States Mint America the Beautiful Quarters Program.
