Valley Pike

The Valley Pike is a historic highway in Virginia that follows the route of the old Great Wagon Road used by early settlers. It stretches over 300 miles, connecting the Shenandoah Valley to the Piedmont region and beyond. Today, it mainly coincides with parts of U.S. Route 11, serving as a important north-south corridor. The Valley Pike passes through scenic areas, including farms, mountains, and towns, and reflects Virginia’s rich history of early American settlement and transportation. Its name honors its historical significance as a vital route for commerce, migration, and communication through the region.
