Had a wonderful experience during this fall. The entire skyline had gifted us more than imagined. We stopped at the overlook points to catch the glimpses of the entire valley from various angles. Apart from that the drive was very scenic with the trees hugging and intersecting each other above the ground was gorgeous to see. One can’t think more than stopping at such spots and click several pictures .
