The BRParkway and Skyline Drive are operated by the National Park Service.
Last time I went through I was warned about the SPEED TRAPS run on these
great twisties.
Fantastic view. But 35mph.

I went through around 6pm and the Park Troopers had gone home to feed the
bears. No radar and no Winnebagos. Great dusk lighting for pics. Took one
of the car at one of the pull-offs.

Being late, I also didn't have to pay the entry fee.
