DC to Indiana through Shenandoah
 
Hi everyone!

I am planning to drive through Shenandoah on my way from DC to Indiana. Can you please suggest a scenic drive through Shenandoah that will not be completely out of the way?

Thank you very much!

I would want to take Skyline Drive, but it's certainly not on the direct route. https://www.nps.gov/shen/planyourvis...line-drive.htm

Thank you very much! I'm planning to take the 64 from Waynesboro on my way back to Indiana. It'll just add a couple of hours to the drive.

Rhody (my DH) lived in western Kentucky. From the Silver Spring area, we usually went up 70 and across Western Maryland; ​​​​​​then down to Charleston WV (rte. 79?). That was pretty scenic. From D.C., out 66 and the back roads to Charleston are pretty, albeit slower.

​​​​​​After Charleston, we usually took 64 and stopped in Louisville so no help there.

Occasionally, we went south to Nashville and east, but I think the pretty parts were more in the Virginias.
