Fig. 1Hawksbill Creek falling through peak October hardwood

Landform

A long, forested ridge of the Blue Ridge, with granite balds, hollows of hardwood, and a road that follows the crest for a hundred miles.

Field note

Skyline Drive is the park. Overlooks stack the Shenandoah Valley to the west and the Piedmont to the east. Autumn is the famous season; fog is the honest one.
