Portions of the Skyline Drive, the famed mountain road through Shenandoah National Park, will be closed at night during hunting season, Park Superintendent Douglas K. Morris announced recently. He noted that this is the 20th year that this closure has been undertaken and that it reduces illegal hunting activity within the park, a, sanctuary for wildlife, during the Commonwealth’s hunting season outside the park.

Effective now through Jan. 3, the Skyline Drive between Front Royal (Mile 0 at U.S. Highway 340) and Thornton Gap (Mile 31 at U.S. Highway 211), and between Swift Run Gap (Mile 65 at U.S. Highway 33) and Rockfish Gap (Mile 105 at U.S. Highway 250), will be closed daily between 5 p.m. and 8 a.m.

The central portion of the Drive, between Thornton Gap and Swift Run Gap, will remain open for overnight access to Skyland Lodge and Big Meadows Campground until those facilities close in November. Then, from Nov. 29
