Shenandoah Sunset
If you’re planning a trip to Shenandoah National Park , I’d highly recommend finishing your day by watching the sunset. Skyline Drive has beautiful overlooks throughout the park, and I’m sure any one of them would give you a beautiful view (as long as they’re on the West side of the road 😉).
