"Shenandoah truly shines during the fall season when foliage starts to change," Todd says. "I highly recommend driving the Skyline Drive—which runs about 105 miles north and south along the Blue Ridge Mountains—to see incredible views of fall colors.

"This makes for a stunning sight during the fall where rolling peaks can be seen for miles covered in various warm colors. Pair this with a foggy day at the Smokies and you have an unforgettable sight."
