The valley is a vast expanse sprawling out from the base of the mountains. Driving Skyline drive will give you views from every angle. The autumn colors of middle and late October danced in the sunlight. Unfortunately our outdated camera phones failed to pick up the glory in its fullness.…

If you are looking for fantastic views this national park has it in droves. We only drove it from end to end so I can't speak for any type of camping or the supporting facilities but it was an enjoyable trip.

Thompson Hollow trail: Beautiful hike and lovely pools BUT: CAREFUL! PARKING is tricky! There are only about 4 parking places, all other cars need to park on the side/shoulder of the road. If you have to do that: MAKE SURE YOUR WHEELS are in the grass and DO NOT TOUCH THE ASPHALT!!! we came back after a long hike and our CAR WAS GONE! apparently every weekend 20-30 cars are being towed out! Recuperating it is no joke: either get a lift (there was no-one when we there, NO CAR left, all towed away or people ahd left by 18:30 ) hike to Bentonville (+/-3 miles) and then get a lift to the 13 miles away Front Royal to pay 262 USD to get your car back form the Tow operator. Its a totally unjustified towing, as its dead end road and no one is being blocked. I am furious and will avoid that region for ANY activity in the future. We felt ripped off and mistreated by that practice.Shame on you! you exploit hikers, people who just want to enjoy nature. How can you allow that? A sham. AGAIN: Shame on you, to exploit people who want to enjoy nature.…
