Recently we had a chance to explore Shenandoah region in the state of Virginia for the long Labor Day weekend. It was about 5 hours’ drive from our house to Shenandoah Caverns which is definitely must in that area. It has a mile long guided tour which shows the various facets of the Cave and the illumination with colorful lights adds glamour to it. The temperature inside the Caverns remains 54 F throughout the year. We had a chance to have our lunch at Texas Road House and I must say it was a great ambience and good food to dine out near the highway exits. Thanks to Torsten who motivated me to visit this place when he visited the same last year.
Next day we had a chance to explore Skyline drive of around 65 miles in Shenandoah national park which was simply breathtaking. There are four entrances to this national park: Front Royal, Thornton Gap, Swift Run, and Rockfish Gap. We did the drive from Swift Run to Front Royal on a nice sunny day. The panoramic view of the chain of mountains from the Skyline drive was phenomenal and awesome. There are so many parking spots in the skyline drive where one could get a clear view and can take photographs. We had our lunch in Mexican Restaurant and I must say Mexican Cuisine has lot of varieties and bit similar to Indian one. All in all, it was a weekend to remember.
Cheers,
