Looking east at an elevation of 2,510 ft (756 m), from Tunnel Parking Overlook you will view two larger mountains. Skinner Ridge is towards the right. Oventop Mountain is towards the left and a little farther away. Beyond where these two mountains meet is the town of Sperryville. Civilian Conservation Corps workers blasted through the hills of Marys Rock for three months before completing the tunnel that gave this overlook its name in 1932.
