Autumn in Virginia and PA
We drove up to the Skyline drive last week to do some leaf peeping. Skies were mostly blue and warm. The colors were lovely. Here are my favorites:
Shenandoah River
Deer on the Big Meadow
Red tree
Skyland Sunset

Shenandoah in autumn
We managed to find a hotel room at the last minute in Luray, VA for a weekend, before all the colored leaves disappeared. The peak colors are about 2 weeks earlier than in Southern MD. I searched google maps for a spot just off a back road along the Shenadoah River with mountains in view. We drove there for the sunrise and found swirling mist on the water. Lovely.
The next morning we drove to the lower entrance of Whiteoak Canyon trail. Along the way we passed an old red barn in nice warm light.
We met some photography friends and hiked to the lower falls. After hiking 1.5 miles, we learned that you need to hop over rocks to get to the falls. I managed to get over the rocks with assistance. It was worth it.
