Mary’s Rock Tunnel is one of the places Roamward flags on the Skyline Drive because it gives the drive its texture: the drive’s signature blasted-rock tunnel. Use it as a planned pull-over instead of letting the route become a blur between towns.

How it fits the drive

The Skyline Drive runs Front Royal → Rockfish Gap, VA. The whole length of Shenandoah.
