Is fall the best time to visit Virginia Safari Park - Virginia's Only Drive-Thru Safari Adventure? We think so! The animals are waiting; hit the road!

Virginia Safari Park in Natural Bridge, Virginia is a hit any time of year, but fall brings the best combination of comfortable weather, thinner crowds, and stunning Blue Ridge scenery.

Skyline Drive, beautifully cresting the ridges of Shenandoah National Park in midsummer.

Skyline Drive, Virginia winding through a sea of clouds. 🌄🏞️

The road is an amazing drive after mid-summer thunderstorms brining the clouds down into the mountains. I caught this view Saturday afternoon as the storm clouds cleared. 🌧️
