Beahms Gap sits at an elevation of 2,485 ft (757 m). During the early years of Shenandoah National Park, there was a 360 degree view from this location, created by clearing the land around Skyline Drive. Over time, trees have grown back and there is no view of the Shenandoah Valley from the Beahms Gap parking lot. If you cross the Skyline Drive on a clear day, you can see Hogback Mountain, Fork Mountain, and Oventop Mountain. There is also a sign containing a map and information to help orient you to Shenandoah National Park.
