	Skyland; Resort Lodging & Cabins, Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia
		Skyland, like any other resort that is well isolated from the outside world, supports facilities that are in use by motorists along the Skyline Drive just as much as they are for the people that stay here.
		Skyland has always been famous for horses and horseback riding.
		Skyland is nearly adjacent to Whiteoak Canyon Falls, one of the largest and most popular (crowded) waterfalls in the SNP.

	Skyland Resort - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Skyland Resort was a small privately-owned community in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Page County, Virginia, built at the highest point on the Skyline Drive with a sweeping view of the Shenandoah Valley at 3,680 feet.
		The Skyland Resort, originally called Stony Man Camp, was built in 1895 by George Freeman Pollock, a young Washington, DC man whose father owned a great deal of the land surrounding the resort.
		It competed with the nearby Panorama Resort, which opened in 1924.

	Shenandoah National Park -- Skyland
		At first, the land's value was associated with copper, which was mined on the Stony Man Mountain Tract from 1845 to 1850: during that time, the area to become Skyland was also "heavily timbered" and "charcoal made there" for the mining operation.
		That year the buildings at Skyland were deliberately burned, perhaps by neighbors angered at the loss of their grazing lands and at Pollack's refusal to allow year-round residents their traditional "right" to cut trees for firewood, lumber, and bark (for tanneries).
		The 1912 Skyland Catalogue stated that more than 50 cabins, bark-covered cottages, and bungalows had been constructed, and "several more are erected each year." Many existing cabins were remodeled or removed to make way for the new buildings.
