Skyline was definitely more crowded with both people and wildlife. I saw a buck walking toward the road, a doe eating right at the edge of the road, and I had 2 different black bears run across the road in front of me (no pictures since both were on curves and disappeared into the brush right away).

The speed limit for the entire 105 miles of Skyline drive is 35 MPH. Considering I came around curves 2 times to find a vehicle parked in the road in front of me, it’s a good thing I wasn’t going any faster.

We head into Pennsylvania after leaving the park to stay at Jonestown KOA and have dinner at “The Buck” complete with Karaoke entertainment in the bar next door.
