The views could be amazing, but i was driving in the clouds. To bad. But it was great to drive. It is free for veterans, good service.

In my opinion, this is one of the nicer overlooks along skyline, Drive inside Shenandoah national park. Like most of the other overlooks, it is easy to get in and out of. The view offers some good visual of distance and I like how you could see the other mountains.

One of the best overlook not to miss, a left hand side turnout only 17 miles from Front Royal Entrance, to get a breathtaking view of a sweeping mountain range. Quite often with a bit of haze, you get to see picture perfect layers of blue ridges toward a unique south facing direction.

Great for viewing the sunset and star gazing after! Happened to drive by at a convenient time and pull over on our way out of Shenandoah.
