LIVE Leaf Cam!
September 22, 2021 is the official start of Fall! There’s no better place in Virginia to see nature at her most beautiful time than the Shenandoah Valley! Front Royal is the northern gateway to Skyline Drive in the Shenandoah National Park!
Discover Front Royal and all it offers during this spectacular time of year in the Valley! Take the journey with us as we share our ‘Live Leaf Cam’, along with the timeline and expectations of when the trees will be at their peak color and transformation! Rest assured you can plan accordingly knowing that the leaves will display their fancy for a good period of time, not just one specific day or weekend! (Hint, hint … no need to wait in miles of traffic to get your peak!)
Be sure to visit this page often to get daily updates. Read our weekly blog posts featuring how the season will unfold and all the wonderful places to visit and things to do and enjoy while are out this way!! Yep, we have spectacular leaves and views and so much more!
Come for the Leaves. Stay for the Stars.
On the other side of Front Royal, a great option for stargazing in Virginia is Sky Meadows State Park. Sky Meadows offers such great night sky views, that it’s recently become an officially designated Dark Sky Park.

Experience the beautiful fall foliage on Skyline Drive, visit our wonderful historic town, and make it complete with the best stargazing around!
