Pack for your activities

Visitors in Luray often plan to do some hiking during their stay. It can get cool in the mountains, so in addition to packing comfortable hiking shoes, plan to bring an extra layer on outdoor excursions, even in the summer months. Don't forget to pack your swimsuit for the hot tub and pool, and of course, sunscreen!
