What an amazingly well maintained and engineered road, so many sweeping roadside pullouts to see wonderful vistas across the mountains and forest. Frankly you could drive the whole way and never get … Full review by BLRfromVF

Beautiful views from the many turnouts and lookouts in the park. Be cautious of the deer. We saw many people wanting to speed along, but the deer are everywhere here. Be sure to get out of the car… Full review by MickeyGW65

Driving Skyline Dr. through Shenandoah National Park in the evening is a different experience than driving it during the day. In the evening there are deer everywhere which is a joy to see. The sun… Full review by Voyager66605913588
I'm planning a trip from Philadelphia to Charlottesville VA. I was wondering if we could go through Maryland, Washington and at some point go on Skyline Drive for a more scenic way to travel to Charlottesville or will it take much longer or not be feasible? Any ideas out there? Thank you

It's definitely doable and it will depend on how long you spend at the scenic overlooks. Don't feel compelled to do every one. Do a Google search for best scenic overlooks on skyline drive and you'll find results for the 10 best, 20 best etc. Pick and choose but be sure to pick some on each side of the road. Once you enter the drive, get a map - yes the old fashioned paper kind - and circle the names of the stops you decided to take. It is so much easier to see the stops on the paper map than on your cell phone screen. Your traveling partner will look at the map and give you a heads up of the stop as you approach. Of course you could put each stop in your gps program on your phone too.
Are there places to stop off and eat on the drive ? Of do any recommendations

I’m thinking of traveling from Michigan with my daughter late March of 2021. Is the Skyline Drive open then?

The park and Skyline Drive are open year round. You do have to buy a park pass ($30 for 7 days) to get on Skyline Drive. You can buy it online through the National Park Service and …

I’m coming to do some bicycling on Skyline, is there parking near the Front Royal entrance where I can leave my car while I ride?
A:
During the summer if you get there early there is a lot of parking, but the lots fill up. Due to COVID there are a lot less people. Skyland about mile marker 40 had a lot of parking.
