Shenandoah National Park

Today, we will spend most of our day driving the Skyline Drive.  The skyline drive is a 105-mile drive north of the Blue Ridge Parkway through the Shenandoah National Park. Make sure you have a full tank of gas before starting the drive, as there are limited services along the route.

Harpers Ferry Raid

From October 16-18, 1859, abolitionist John Brown led the raid to initiate a slave revolt in the South.  The raid was put down by then Colonel Robert E. Lee.  Many of the people that would later change the course of history for both sides were present.


Tonight, we will stay in Charles Town, West Virginia.
