Entrances to Skyland - elv. 3680 ft. Skyland is the highest point on Skyline Drive and the most famous 'camp' on the Drive. It became the 'in' spot for many summer vacationers in the late 1890s up to the time the Park was established. The cool mountain air was a welcome retreat for those who found themselves caught in hot humid summer city weather and could afford a week, a month or a summer on the mountain.
