Shenandoah National Park Awash in Fall Colors

Fall can be pretty spectacular in Shenandoah National Park, as this stitched panoramic view by Alan Pitt demonstrates. The photo was taken along Skyline Drive, looking west-southwest from the Big Run Overlook near Big Flat Mountain Campground. Rocky Top Mountain is tallest in the chain to the right, while Massanutten Mountain is in the background.

With the colors at their peak around our home in Pennsylvania, we figured that Shenandoah's forests would be nearing their peak as well.
