Sunset along Skyline Drive in the South District - Shenandoah National Park



When we planned an October 2021 trip to Cape Cod National Seashore, we deliberately set aside time on two different days to drive through Shenandoah National Park on Skyline Drive instead of staying on the Interstate. The first evening, we arrived a bit late to see the entire Southern District in daylight but saw a beautiful sunset from various lookouts near the southern end of the park.

Also available is a Shenandoah National Park Annual Park Pass for $55.
