The Garden Maze at Luray Caverns
Unravel the mystery at one of the largest hedge mazes in the Mid-Atlantic states - a one acre ornamental garden at Luray Caverns. Mazes are rooted in mystery and have existed for centuries in scores of cultures in countless forms around the world. They have been designed for entertainment, recreation, for objects of art, for magic and meditation. At Luray Caverns, over 1500 Dark American Arborvitae create a 1/2 mile pathway of puzzlement. The trees in The Garden Maze are eight feet tall and four feet wide and are enhanced with a misting fog at strategic locations to provide cooling and special effects. The illogical rythm of the twisting pathways lead adventurers past fountains and into a cave.

Shenandoah River
The South Fork of the Shenandoah River flows for 55 miles through Page Valley, winding its way between the Massanutten Mountain on the West and the Blue Ridge Mountains on the East. Offering stunning mountain views as you go along the river, the South Fork flows north to join the North Fork in Front Royal and becoming the main stem of the Shenandoah River. Continuing North, this flows on to Harper's Ferry, West Virginia where it joins the Potomac River all the way to the Chesapeake Bay. The Shenandoah River is one of the few rivers in the world that flows north for its entire length and that alone brings some outdoor enthusiasts to its banks.

14th Annual Festival of Spring Weekend
The Town of Luray’s annual Festival of Spring is upon us and the locals are excited to see this year’s changes. Celebrating the 14th year, the festival has changed a little, not just footprint (which I’ll touch on briefly for all of you who have been here before), but this year it’s also moved forward a weekend. Still, the reason for its creation has remained the same. The festival looks to celebrate the Town of Luray, its local partners, artisans and crafters, and community as a whole while welcoming in the spring season.
