Skyline Drive’s northern entrance is a little more than an hour drive from Washington DC, but it feels like a world away. – photo by Joe AlexanderSkyline Drive runs for a little more than 100 miles through Shenandoah National Park in the Blue Ridge Mountains.
The northern park entrance is in Front Royal, Virginia – about 70 miles west of Washington DC. Skyline Drive winds roughly north and south to near Waynesboro, Virginia.
I got there about a month to early for the prime viewing of the fall colors in the park.
There are a number of overlooks and places to park along Skyline Drive, where the highest elevation is 3,680 feet.
