This is one of the best lookout points in 1,500-acre Red Mountain Park. The gap is named for Baylis Earle Grace, a farmer who's believed to have been the first to identify the red rock in this area as hematite iron ore, which led directly to nearby Birmingham's development as an industrial powerhouse.
