Description

Welcome to Luray, Virginia! Today, we’ll visit the stunning Luray Caverns, home to spectacular limestone formations and rare stalactites that grow just one inch every 120 years. This underground wonder offers a fascinating experience for visitors of all ages. Next, we’ll enjoy a scenic ride along Skyline Drive in Shenandoah National Park. Winding along the mountain ridge, this route features panoramic views of the Shenandoah Valley, with several stops at picturesque overlooks. You’ll also take a short, easy trail walk (approx. 45 minutes round trip) to further enjoy the natural beauty—weather permitting.
