U.S. 211 / State Route 211 West

U.S. 211

U.S. 211, along with U.S. 33 and SR 614 west of White Hall, is one of the few highways that enter Shenandoah National Park and meet Skyline Drive. One of the most popular national parks in the country, Shenandoah is notable for its proximity to Washington, D.C., a major metropolitan area. The peace and tranquility of the park, coupled with its incredible views from Skyline Drive, make Shenandoah seem much further away from the busy streets of the nation's capital.

Shenandoah National Park was founded in 1926 and is most famous for Skyline Drive, a 105 mile long byway which follows the crest of the Blue Ridge Mountains. According to the National Park Service web page, "Shenandoah National Park lies astride a beautiful section of the Blue Ridge Mountains, which form the eastern rampart of the Appalachian Mountains between Pennsylvania and Georgia. The Shenandoah River flows through the valley to the west, with Massanutten Mountain, 40 miles long, standing between the river's north and south forks."
