There are four main entrances to the park along the Skyline Drive. These
are:
_North Entrance_ (Front Royal, Va.): From U.S. 340 and Va. 55 and 522.
_Thornton Gap_ (Mile 31.6): From U.S. 211.
_Swift Run Gap_ (Mile 65.7): From U.S. 33.
_South Entrance_ (Rockfish Gap): From U.S. 250, and from the Blue Ridge
Parkway.
The Blue Ridge Parkway, when completed, will link Shenandoah National
Park with Great Smoky Mountains National Park, a distance of 469 miles.
A unit of the National Park System, the parkway is more than two-thirds
complete. Short detours are well marked. Information on road conditions
can be obtained at the entrance stations.
_Bus service_
is available at nearby towns all year. Virginia Trailways,
Charlottesville, Va., operates tours to and through the park from late
May through October. Call Trailways terminals for reservations and
information.
