From the 2012 Thanksgiving weekend spent in Shenandoah National Park, in this gallery we provide an assortment of views, many snapped out of the car while driving (not recommended!), taken along Skyline Drive, mostly in the northern and middle sections between Mileposts 0 and 40. The Drive is the main access road in the park, traveling along a high ridge where there are frequently some spectacular views.
Some were taken on the way down on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving, and some on the Saturday after. There was still some snow in shaded gullies along the road, and in piles at the end of parking areas left from a storm the week before.
