All About Etlan

At teh base of Old Rag Mountain, a hiker's mecca in the estern range, lies the small town of Etlan. Etlan is a clean, untouch area in the Blue Ridge Mountains of the Shenandoah Valley. Etlan is one of America's ten most outstanding scenic byways (Great for biking!). Etlan backs up to the Shenandoah National Park & Old Rag Mountain, which offer numerous scenic hiking trials. There are many scheduled events, festivals, and activities throughout the year. Nearby restaurants worthy of note include Inn of Little Washington.

Local Eltanians express concern over changes to and around the area. Fears of smog that is sometimes seen from the top of ORM coming from DC and Northern Virginia are cause for concern. Suburban sprawl from the North is sited as one issue where it is felt that the area is being taken. Sadly, local farmers are said to be forced to sell due to falling product prices and farms are turning into residential subdivisions and strip malls.

To feel the roots of Etlan stop by the The Little Country Store. Please remember to buy locally grown produce to help the famers and support support the local economy. It's good for you and its good for Etlan.
