Skyline Drive’s overlooks make the Shenandoah National Park arguably one of the best drives in the eastern US. Especially to see the amazing fall foliage.
The road and the park start just outside of Front Royal and stretch southward for 105 miles to Afton. Here is where the drive meets up with another favorite, the Blue Ridge Parkway.
Along Skyline Drive’s scenic roadway are 75 overlooks. To the west the Shenandoah Valley, while the Virginia Piedmont lies to the east.
As not all 75 overlooks are worth a stop, we’ve narrowed down the overlooks most memorable for us. Running from north to south, this guide is divided into the three sections of the park and includes mile-markers to make the overlooks easy to find.
Thanks for the tip on the Point Overlook. We were here a few years ago and missed this secret spot, but got it this time. What an awesome view!
Glad we were able to help and you loved the view! I love Point Overlook, feels so secret, even though the path is there in plain sight.
