Description

Found along the Hawksbill peak, Salamander, and Appalachian trail loop in the Shenandoah National Park.

Hike on loop was from 6:30pm to 9:30pm. Scattered thunderstorms throughout day prior to hike. Last half of hike along Salamander and Appalachian trail was through heavy rains. Several dozens (if not more) salamanders were found crowding the trail. Some pictures are of poor quality due to rush to get to vehicle before even heavier rains made the hike dangerous.
