Today we travel along scenic highways en route to
historic New Market, Virginia. Upon our arrival we will enjoy a
delicious buffet lunch and entertainment at the Johnny
Appleseed Restaurant. Following lunch, we depart for the world-famous
Luray Caverns. We will stroll along the well-lighted, paved walkways that
wind through the huge chambers to explore cathedral-sized rooms with soaring
ceilings, towering columns, breathtaking stalactites, and gaze into
mirror-perfect pools. Our knowledgeable guide will enrich your experience with
stories about the caverns’ discovery, and the science behind the natural wonders
being viewed. The caverns has the world’s only “Stalacpipe” Organ that plays
its hauntingly beautiful music on natural formations. We conclude our day in
the Shenandoah Valley with a leisurely drive along the famous Skyline Drive
of Virginia. Skyline Drive offers travelers the opportunity to view many of
the most scenic vistas in the eastern United States. Also, keep your cameras
ready because Skyline Driveis an excellent place to view the plentiful
and diverse wildlife of the Shenandoah Valley. A rest stop will be made on the
return trip home. Note: Luray Caverns does not have an elevator.
Please wear comfortable shoes (no heels).
