The fall season is finally upon us and that could only mean one thing, the crisp, cool nights are finally here; we can finally go out without antihistamines or risking heatstroke. But do you know what the best part of this magnificent season is? The scenery! The plain green scenery we are used to has been transformed into a bright breathtaking display of colors; from yellow, orange, purple, and red. Our Charlottesville limo representatives have therefore found it imperative to share this beauty with you, our esteemed clients. We have come up with a list of some of the best places to enjoy Fall foliage in Old Dominion.
But before we get into that, we recommend employing the services of our Virginia limo service for all your transportation needs for the duration of the season. Our professionally trained and knowledgeable chauffeurs have an intimate knowledge of their area of operation and will transfer you and your companions in a fast and expedient manner to any of these magnificent locations as you simply sit back, enjoy the luxury amenities of our vehicles, and marvel at the beauty whisking past you on the outside. The following is a list of some of our favorite fall foliage viewing locations in the state. Have a wonderful season.
University of Virginia
Head over to Charlottesville and visit the University of Virginia for amazingly scenic fall foliage sites. This prestigious campus was founded close to two centuries ago and is now the United States’ highest ranking higher education institutions. During this season, you can expect to see tremendous amounts of differently colored leaves spread out all across perfectly manicured grounds.
Purgatory Overlook
The Purgatory Mountain towers over the Great Valley, overlooking the Blue Ridge Parkway. The Carolina Road beginning at the town of Buchanan at the base of the mountain was known to be so treacherous, with its rough terrain and sharp bends that drivers in the early 20th Century began refereeing to it as the ‘Road to Purgatory’. Of course the safety standards of this road have drastically improved since then, so do not worry, you are safe. Take the road to purgatory and enjoy the winding route as you are amazed by the overhead views of the majestic fall foliage of Botetourt County.
Presidential Homes
Virginia has had eight native sons rise to the highest office in the land, and that includes four of the first five presidents. Thomas Jefferson lived in Monticello, James Monroe in Highland, and James Madison in Montpelier. You can visit each of these homes during this season and explore the grounds for magnificent Fall season views. These homes are just a few miles apart, so if you commence your tour early enough, you just might be able to thoroughly explore each of these scenic locations. Enjoy the beautiful Fall foliage as you stroll the walking trails that each of these homes provide and marvel at the fact that the founding fathers once strolled the same trails centuries ago.
