Thornton Hollow Overlook
The Overlook faces east, so the morning sun forced me to take a picture looking more north than south. South takes you toward Thornton Gap and the US Rt 211 Overpass. Rt 211 marks the start of the middle section of Skyline Drive.

Help Protect the Wildlife
The deer population in the Park is not quite as bad as it is in some of the urban areas. We still have plenty of hunters to help keep nature in balance. So, we ask you to make sure your vehicle doesn't become a weapon and remove any of them or yourselves from the mountain. They spring out qickly -- especially during the rutting season -- and young fawns can't jump the stone walls.

Enter the Shenandoah, Virginia National Park
The series of curves leading out of Sperryville, VA. lets you know that you are entering the mountains and the Shenandoah National Park, Virginia. Slow traffic keep right on the way up, and pump, don't ride, the breaks on the way down. The tree canopy closes in, the road gets steep and deer and bear are not uncommon...especially at night. Thornton Gap and the entrance to Skyline Drive are only 4 miles ahead and there is more than you'll be able to see in a month of Sundays. When the leaves start changing in October, traffic is heaviest on Friday through Monday. Plan accordingly or stay off the horn...please!

Stony Man Mountain Overlook - elv. 3100 ft.
Here's another spectacular view...this one looking west across the town of Luray and over to the Massanutten Mountain. Looking south you see Stony Man, which gets its name from the stone profile on the mountain...just add a touch of imagination and you see him right here!
