Does anybody have any tips on were are the best places to shoot sunset or sunrise?

If somebody wants to meetup I'd be glad to do that also.

Not sure where you are going to enter the park (Shenandoah National Park). Last trip up there I came in at the Thornton Gap entrance (mile marker 31.5). Accessed this entrance from Rt 211, west of Sperryville.

Going south on Skyline Drive from Thornton Gap the first overlook on the left is just past the tunnel. I took this image there around 7am. It was still cloudy from a storm passing thru.



The next overlook on the left is called Hazel Mtn Overlook. I'm pretty sure this image was from that spot, say around 7:15am. It was the overlook with a pile of boulders just over the overlook guardrailing. If you jump the guardrail and go down and around the boulders you can access this view.



More details (and other images - including sunset photos taken by those that stayed late) from the GTG can be found in this thread:

Have a good time! ;^)

I'll be staying in hotel on Skyline drive. Mile 51 I think. Let me know if you'll be there and we can hang out for a little while.
