You may want to reconsider taking the Skyline Dr route unless you are looking to go painfully slow & smell the flowers. The speed limit is 35, this is federal land & if caught speeding the fines can be extremely heavy.... like $500.00 heavy. Some friends that just went thru there got a warning from a ranger that was claiming to be protecting the park's bear & deer population. The scenery is breathtaking, though. It is lovely.

If you don't want to smell the flowers then I'd suggest taking a different route.

The Blue Ridge Pkwy is a little better as far as speed is concerned. Speed limits are a huge 45 MPH. The BRP is also federal land. You get caught speeding the performance award fines can be heavy. The scenery is great, also.

Whichever way that you go, ride safe & see you in Boone.
