If you’re looking to access one of the best views Massanutten has to offer via your own two feet, look no further than the Massanutten Ridge Trail.

To access the trailhead, start at the parking lot at the end of Del Webb Drive.

Geocaching

Geocaching

Looking for a fun, family-friendly way to exercise both your mind and body? Try geocaching ("jee-oh-cash-ing"), the fast-growing sport that's akin to a modern-day treasure hunt.

Instead of a worn map marked with an X, you use a GPS receiver, a set of coordinates and clues that will lead you to a cache of goodies hidden at that location. Massanutten is home to many geocaches, so what are you waiting for?
