Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia...




We have traveled down the SkyLine drive with its many stops to view the Shenandoah valley below. The mountains are veiled in hazy fog making an eerie appearance. The Skyline joins the Blue Ridge Parkway for a 450 mile drive through lovely green mountains.


At mile marker 61, we departed for a side trip to the Natural Bridge. This natural structure is almost 40 feet tall and supports highway 11, which runs over the top. The hiking trail winds under the bridge and follows a path to a small waterfalls.
