Skyline Drive Overview

Jun 4, 2005

Skyline Drive is an integral element of Shenandoah National Park. Today, almost 1.4 million visitors a year come from around the world to Shenandoah to enjoy its natural beauty. The creation of the park has allowed natural forces, combined with the early efforts of the Civilian Conservation Corps and the continuing efforts of the National Park Service, to regenerate an area of scenic mountain terrain. The best way to introduce the byway would be by the seasons, as each turn into the next season offers something new and enjoyable along the Skyline Drive.
