This viewpoint sits at 3,140 ft (957 m) elevation and looks right down a hollow toward the town of Stanley. Another community, Luray, is to the right of Stanley but mostly hidden by a ridge. You'll also see Blackrock Summit in the near distance to your left, and Roundhead Ridge a bit behind and to the right of it.
