If we take a day trip to Skyline Drive which park entrance do we use? I've looked at different websites and it's confusing if you don't know the area.
Thanks for the advice.

Thanks for the advice.

Okay, I went to mapquest and we decided to go to Luray Caverns, then go to the Skyline Drive entrance at 3655 US Hwy 211, in Luray. Then we'll go south to Rt. 33 and back to the resort.
Sound right?
You might also enjoy the Luray Zoo. www.LurayZoo.com.
It's very close to the Caverns and has one of the largest collections of venomous snakes on the East Coast, a beautiful Tiger and other great wild animals along with a petting zoo.
Here's a link to some information on the Skyline Drive and Shenandoah National Park:

Here's info on fees for the park:

You might want to look at the Annual Passes. They cover a lot of different areas across the country. The Senior Pass ($10.00!!) looks like a fabulous deal for those over age 62. I may be reading this wrong, but I believe the Senior pass holder can bring along family members on the card...
The Luray Zoo is great - havent been in years though, maybe this next trip.

Have a wonderful trip. Lots of trees and flowers are finally starting to bloom down here!!

As I recall, the Golden Pass owner only has to be in the car. I'll be getting mine in 5 months.
