As long as you have a pass you have access to Skyline Drive 24/7. Portions of the road may be closed off during the winter though.

You can drive on a stretch of the Skyline Drive for free, but its only a few miles. In order to get the full experience its $15. The pass you recieve you can use for a whole week or you can purchase a year long pass. **HELPFUL HINT: You should buy the year pass. It is only $15 more.**

GENERAL INFO
This is a great trip to take if you want to clear your head or if you just want to go site seeing. When driving on the road that goes through Shenandoah National Park, there are look outs every few miles for you to just pull over and look out over the valley. The speed limit is 35 and the roads are very windy, so drive with caution! It can get pretty chilly in the shade of the trees so if you plan on getting out and going for a walk you should bring a jacket with you.
