Shenandoah National Park Surprise Proposal at Hawksbill Summit

Hawksbill Summit is about a 1.5 hour roundtrip hike to a beautiful view of the Shenandoah Valley with a 690 foot elevation! The hiking path is located near mile marker 46. A shorter, yet steeper, route to Shenandoah’s highest peak. The viewing platform on top of Hawksbill offers a magnificent 360-degree panoramic view of the Shenandoah Valley, the Blue Ridge Mountains, and the Virginia Piedmont. For this surprise proposal I hiked to the top ahead of the couple to photograph the surprise proposal moment! Afterward we did some additional engagement photos with the view and near the viewing platform. If you are considering proposing at Shenandoah National Park, this hike is a great option!
