Just before you turn down Browntown Rd. on your approach to the Farmhouse, you’ll pass the first entrance to beautiful Shenandoah National Park. Skyline Drive is must-do for lovers of scenic overlooks and fall colors, and the park’s visitors centers have trail maps and information about wildlife.

The town of Luray has a charming river walk and many nice restaurants. If you decide to drive through the National Park on Skyline Drive, Luray is a good place to pop back out and visit the town and caverns.
