Rockfish Gap to Swift Run Gap - Skyline Drive - Shenandoah National Park


In late September 2020, we roamed a bit further from home to Shenandoah National Park where we stayed at Skyland Lodge in the park. Since this was our daughter's first visit to the park, we decided to drive the entire Skyline Drive during our stay. We started at Rockfish Gap and headed north stopping at several of the overlooks to see the views.
