Fall Foliage Trip Near Washington | Shenandoah National Park 🍂

Finally, fall break arrived—and I dashed straight to the Washington area! 🚗💨 With the government shutdown, museums were closed, but hey—national parks were free to enter! 🏞️🎉 Drove along Skyline Drive—the views were absolutely stunning! 🛣️✨ Leaves on the mountainsides were already turning fiery red 🍁. There were plenty of hiking trails along the way, perfect for pulling over and exploring on foot 🥾🌲. The foothills were still lush green, but the higher we climbed, the more vibrant the colors became… until we drove straight into the fog! 😵💫 Suddenly, everything was white in every direction—no phone signal, just a surreal feeling of being cut off from the world. 📍 Shenandoah National Park #Shenandoah #WashingtonDC #AutumnVibes #USNationalParks #NorthAmerica #Photography #DMVHiking #FallColors #SkylineDrive #FoggyPeaks #NatureEscape #LeafPeeping #Wanderlust #RoadTripDiaries #ScenicViews
