Skyline Drive

Many people add Washington, D.C. to their bucket list, but next time you decide to head to our nation's capital, why not turn your trip into a road trip? Just an hour away from the capital city you'll find the Skyline Drive road trip route. It's a 105-mile stretch that will take you on a winding route through the stunning Blue Mountains, and it's a definite must-see. Especially as it's the only public route through these famous peaks.
