Facing south from an elevation of 2,455 ft (748 m), the view from Bacon Hollow Overlook stretches out over a broad hollow that descends to the Piedmont in the distance. The Piedmont is the central region of Virginia between the Blue Ridge Mountains and the Coastal Plains. Literally meaning foothills, the Piedmont region is known for its rolling hills and rural character.

Maintenance of this view funded Greene County and Hugh and Temple Joyce through the Shenandoah National Park Trust Adopt an Overlook program.
