The world famous Skyline Drive runs the full length of the Shenandoah National Park in Virginia and connects directly to the 469 mile Blue Ridge Parkway. Construction began even before the park was begun. President Herbert Hoover brought the drive about as a drought relief measure and it was completed in 1939 during President Roosevelt’s administration. Along both sides of the Skyline Drive you can experience ridges, valleys, hills, hollows, streams, waterfalls, meadows, forests and countless mountain ranges. |
