scottbly Posted September 7, 2011 Share #1 Posted September 7, 2011 I will be in DC on business over the Columbus Day weekend. I Have three days off and what to take a road trip to see the fall colors. I will be in a rental car so bike issues are not relevent. I am thinking Penn? Any Suggestions? Thanks.

From Virginia head west out US 50 to Front Royal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
painterman67 Posted September 7, 2011 Share #3 Posted September 7, 2011 Is the Skyline drive near enough by? My geography sucks but I think its within and hr or so and you just might get to see some wildlife also. David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ndiaz Posted September 8, 2011 Share #6 Posted September 8, 2011 From DC, an easy drive to Catoctin Mountain Park, where Camp David is located. If it's good enough for Presidents, it's good enough for all of us who own the place -- it's a National Park. Find Thurmont in Frederick County, MD, and you'll see where it is. Beautiful area. Fortunately, Øbama doesn't go there often, so it should be easy for you to get there and get around. Nick Diaz Middletown, MD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwoStars Posted September 8, 2011 Share #7 Posted September 8, 2011 DC Beltway to 66W toward Front Royal, VA will get you to the north end of Skyline Drive. DC Beltway to 270N toward Frederick, MD will get you access to 15N and Catoctin, Gettysburg, and PA country. It will also get you access to the Cumberland, Frostburg MD area (70 and 68W), great views along 68, especially on 2 wheels. 70W will also get you to central PA (Breezewood and Rt. 30). You'll have to check maps for mileage. If you want to sightsee as well, I’d opt for the Gettysburg area. You can get into mountains from there pretty quickly on Rt. 30. DC Beltway to 95N will take you to ..… well, you’ll want to avoid that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ndiaz Posted September 8, 2011 Share #8 Posted September 8, 2011 On an October weekend, I will NOT recommend Front Royal and the Skyline Drive (Shenandoah National Park). Traffic will be horrendous. Nick Diaz Middletown, MD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwoStars Posted September 8, 2011 Share #9 Posted September 8, 2011 I'd agree with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
