"Traveling the 105-mile Skyline Drive along the crest of the Blue Ridge Mountains puts you within reach of some of the prettiest eastern peaks and offers 75 overlooks for sprawling views of the Shenandoah Valley and the Piedmont; it is the park's only public road (portions may close in bad weather), and many trails remain open for winter snowshoeing and skiing — drive the 35-mph limit and watch for active wildlife like foxes and bobcats." - Skye Sherman Skye Sherman Skye Sherman is a travel writer based in West Palm Beach, Florida.
