From here, a rare Skyline Drive view looks southwestward down the length of the Blue Ridge. Many of Shenandoah National Park's highest peaks are visible here, including Stony Man, the northernmost Blue Ridge peak to rise above 4,000 feet. Much of the landscape in view, especially to the east and west, is not in the park. Private woodland and pastures are being replaced by homes and commercial properties, and the view from Shenandoah's Skyline Drive is changing. Skyline Drive meanders south through the Blue Ridge peaks visible from here.
