A road trip on the famous Skyline Drive - the only route through Shenandoah National Park.
Some roads are made for experiencing an ultimate road trip. Some roads are made for riding a motorcycle. But it’s no only the road that is responsible for an unforgettable road trip.
The Skyline Drive is the only road through Shenandoah National Park and a must visit when visiting Virginia. But I had to first overcome many obstacles, before I was rewarded with the perfect view. A trip on the Skyline Drive to the iconic town Harpers Ferry.
