Coming from Thorton Gap, the view above the tunnel provides a nice break - the climbs start immediately after Thorton and go for the next 4.5 miles, so enjoy the scenery!

Great spot on the exit to Skyland, where there is a restuarant and nice restrooms.

beautifull landscape

This lookout point has an interesting granodiorite formation underfoot. That is literally the bedrock of the Blue Ridge Mountains, originally formed miles beneath the earth's surface. When you look out to the southeast you'll also see Buck Ridge first, then Hazel Mountain in the distance.

Pinnacle Ridge is the obvious star of this 3,320-foot (1011 m) lookout point, but you can also see Hot Mountain to the left of the ridge, and Old Rag Mountain — one of the most popular summit hikes in all of Shenandoah National Park — in the distance.

Looking west from 3,550 feet (1,082 m) of elevation, this viewpoint offers a great view of 4,050-foot (1,234 m) Hawksbill Peak, the tallest mountain in Shenandoah National Park. You can also see Nakedtop Mountain a little farther away, and the Shenandoah Valley opening up below you.
