Description
“Big Meadows Lodge is on Skyline Drive in Virginia’s Shenandoah National Park, and 75 overlooks along the 115-mile-long National Scenic Byway provide valley vistas. The lodge was built by the Civilian Conservation Corps and local laborers in 1939 from stone cut from nearby Massanutten Mountain. The interior paneling is made from native chestnut, a tree that is almost extinct because of chestnut blight.” (https://traveltips.usatoday.com)
