Fall color in Shenandoah and Central Virginia
Skyline Drive follows the crest of the ridge here, with a long string of overlooks and short trails to waterfalls. Caverns, ski slopes and the vineyards around Charlottesville are close to the Drive. Leaves usually turn first on the highest ridges in early October and move down to the valleys by late October or early November. The timing shifts every year.
