Fall Foliage Trip to Shenandoah National Park: October 24


On Saturday, October 24, we took an afternoon drive to Shenandoah National Park in western Virginia. The park consists of one long mountain road--Skyline Drive--and it makes for a great place to see the changing leaves. We drove along the northernmost 31 miles of Skyline Drive.

We stopped at several scenic overlooks.

We watched clouds engulf the mountains.

We enjoyed a nice view of the famous Blue Ridge Mountains. They resemble the mountain ranges you probably created in elementary school with overlapping pieces of construction paper of various colors.

It was a beautiful drive.

Seems like you guys are in the center of everything. I know that New York is the "center of everything," but it sure seems like you are seeing a lot more while living in D.C.! So much fun and so pretty!

Beautiful! I would love to some day see Autumn in New England and in the East. Seems like I only get there in winter and summer.
