Beautiful scenery!

What a spectacular road trip! The entire trip is about 100 miles. The first half of the drive was quite rainy with poor visibility, but the next day was wonderful. Stayed in Big Meadow Lodge at the halfway mark. Lots of wildlife.

Beautiful!

It was very beautiful! Would love to see it in the fall. Please know that it cost to drive Skyline Drive. We were really surprised for that. Cost us $30.00 we entered in the middle of the mountains and headed south. Pull offs were great!
