Wheres the best place to getaway and see the leaves in Virginia for the weekend?|123302

We_re looking for a nice mountain town to see the fall leaves before they are gone! This weekend.

I did Skyline Drive at the weekend and the leaves seemed to be past their best (certainly based upon what we saw in the first week of November last year).

However the views are superb and my father who hadn_t done it before really enjoyed it. If you are tempted to do it don_t get on at the Front Royal end, start further south and head north. It is MUCH busier heading south than north.

I recently went there and hated it x.x the roads we went on were so curvey and we went up into the hills! It was enough to make me sick with all the bumps...Also we were in senic NOWHERE, Just driving on an endless bumpy road trying to get to civilization. My family went and we were ready to get the hell back home by the time it was over. I would opt for you just watching videos and getting pictures of the leaves ;)

As mentioned above, check out the fall foliage in the Shenandoah Valley, Virginia -- Blue Ridge Parkway, Shenandoah National Park and Luray Caverns -- about 75 miles from the District.

Go to Lynchburg or that area. Skyline drive has some breathtaking views! It_s very moutanious and scenic. Bring a camera!

I surely agree with Skyline Drive.... While there be sure to stop thru Luray Caverns (www.LurayCaverns.com) breathtaking :) Can Always take the Appalachian Trail

Anywhere in the western part of the state is great. I drove up and down I-81 3 weeks ago and the color was just starting to really show.

Lynchburg, petersburg, anything near WV really lol

Not sure but a nice long drive on the scenic Skyline Drive should do it. What about Shenandoah Valley?
