The Atlas/Virginia/Skyland Resort Dining Room

Skyland Resort Dining Room

Perched at the highest elevation on Skyline Drive (MP 41.7–42.5), Skyland's Pollock Dining Room offers farm-to-table meals with panoramic Shenandoah Valley views. Open seasonally late March through early November, it serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner daily. A lighter Mountain Taproom menu and Grab 'n Go counter are also on site — ideal for riders who don't want a full sit-down.

Big Walker Lookout & Country Store
Virginia
A 100-foot observation tower atop Big Walker Mountain (3,405 ft) on US-52, built in 1947 and run continuously by the Kime family. On a clear day the tower yields views into five states. The Country Store below sells official Claw of the Dragon and Back of the Dragon merchandise, snacks, and souvenirs — making it the natural gathering point for Southwest Virginia's premier motorcycle corridor.
