Driving South.

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.

Swift Run Gap - Intersection of Skyline Drive and Rt 33
This intersection marks the beginning of the southern section of Skyline Drive. The next 30+ miles are a bit wilder than the previous 60 and there are fewer overlooks, though lots to see and plenty of trails to hike. Exit onto Rt 33 to head east toward Rt 29 and the Charlottesville, Virginia and the University of Virginia, or west toward Harrisonburg, Virginia and James Madison University.
Highway United States 250

Thornton Gap/U.S. 211 Intersection
Thornton Gap, Virginia marks the beginning of the middle section of Skyline Drive. Exit onto Rt 211 to visit Luray, VA. and Luray Caverns or take refuge in a great B&B. If you can't visit us, continue down the Drive for more natural wonders around every curve. This section has more overlooks and trails than the Northern Section and considerably more curves. The next 30 miles are, perhaps, the most visited section of Skyline Drive and offer many more spectacular overlooks, trails to hike, camping and picnic areas and the famous Great Meadow with ranger guided tours available.

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. We hope you enjoy these Virginia highway photos. Many of our highway guides are created by local businesses in exchange for promoting their business and highlighting the tourism opportunities in their area.
