I would like to do a little backpacking trip from August 12-17 in Shenandoah National Park (I'm coming from Richmond). My boyfriend will drop me off at the starting point on the 12th and pick me up at a pre-determined location on the 17th.

Does anyone know of a good starting and ending point for this length of time (thinking availability of water/views/safety, etc.)? I'd like to do about ten miles per day.

Thanks!
