Hello and welcome to this UCPlaces tour of Shenandoah National Park. My name is Dave, and it will be my pleasure joining you as co-pilot today as we embark on a scenic driving tour of Shenandoah, beginning near the charming town of Front Royal, Virginia, and winding southward along the iconic Skyline Drive to the peaceful outskirts of Sperryville. This carefully curated journey features breathtaking points of interest, showcasing the park’s stunning landscapes, rich history, and diverse wildlife. From panoramic overlooks and cascading waterfalls to serene hiking trails and historic lodges, each stop offers a unique glimpse into the natural beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Whether you're a first-time visitor or a seasoned explorer, this tour promises an unforgettable adventure through one of America's most cherished national parks. Perhaps you drove in from Washington, DC, on route 66, or areas surrounding. Wherever you are coming from, you are in the right place now, and get ready to indulge your eyes in the beauty of Shenandoah. Today’s journey runs a little over 30 miles, and should take anywhere between an hour and a half, and 3 hours to complete, depending on how many stops you make. It’s a good idea to gas up and bring some snacks for the road trip today. Coming up first, we will talk about Front Royal before entering Skyline Drive and the Park itself. Everybody ready? Yes? Good! On we go! That’s a Willy Wonka quote. I may throw some others in during the tour. Fair warning.
