hi all,
i'm a frequent visitor to the Conn forum because that's where i live but my brother lives in Staunton (which i assume is considered Northern VA) and i was thinking of visiting him on vacation but not sure what the closest airport is. CHO is the only one i know of that looks even remotely close but still seems a bit far away on the map.
also, i'd like some recommendations on where to take some good landscape photography or any other interesting/photogenic sites in the area.
appreciate any help.

Staunton is not NOVA. You might look in the Roanoke forum for better info.

Charlottesville might be a better forum. It's closer to Staunton than Roanoke.

Um, did you ask your brother what the closest airport is? He is likely to know and you might get an answer quicker.

It's home to a very large state run mental institution.

Shenandoah Valley Regional Airport is the closest airport to Staunton. It's a 10-15 minute drive from most parts of town.

Charlottesville Airport is 50ish miles away and under the best conditions it's about an hour drive. If you're traveling through Charlottesville at rush hour it can be considerably longer. Also you do have to cross over Afton Mountain when coming from C'ville...not normally a big deal on clear days but it can get rainy and very foggy at times.

As far as things to see in the area....Shenandoah National Park and The Blue Ridge Parkway are great places for nature photography and photogenic views into the Shenandoah Valley..both are a short drive from town. Thornrose Cemetery can be a pretty neat place to photograph...several lovely sculptures and markers and mausoleums.
