My wife and I are planning to do the 4-day / 3-night inn-to-inn hike in the SNP in May. Swift Gap to Lewis Mtn to Big Meadows to Skyland to Thornton's Gap. Looking forward to the hike.
My question is parking at Thornton’s Gap. We want to drop off a shuttle car before driving back to Swift Gap to start our hike.
There appear to be two parking lots at Thornton’s Gap - one is accessible from Skyline Drive; the other from VA 211.
With the government shutdown, I cannot find anyone at a ranger station to ask my question: Can I leave a car for 4 nights at the lot off VA 211? Hoping someone here knows?
