Skyland Travel Guide

Tourist Guide

Just by the Skyland amphitheater is a building, on the top of an incline, facing west to Luray down below. There are four rooms here all with this breathtaking view made all the more gorgeous as the sun travels overhead and changes the color of the world below. At night, the stars are so vibrant that they can be seen while laying in bed. In the evening, the sunset is such an explosion of color it paints the walls. But in the early morning hours as the sun rises, it climbs on the other side of the mountain and slowly, gently, spreads over the valley floor. On this particular morning, it was below freezing and fog spread out through the valley, looking like a white ocean with waves that billowed and changed. The sun slowly burned away the fog, exposing a frost-covered land, and for a moment it felt like we were viewing the depths of a snowflake. 

If you go to Skyland Resort in Shenandoah, spend the extra bucks for a good room with a view. Nearly all rooms overlook this valley in some way, but we splurged for a king bed and were so lucky to see this sight every morning with a warm cup of coffee in hand.

8.8/10 Excellent! (1,000 reviews)
We enjoyed our stay in this beautiful location. The current administration should invest funds in the National Parks, rather than divesting from them, and rather than spending untold, mismanaged, hundreds of millions on ballrooms and personal jets. This historied encampment deserves to be kept up ...
