The Point

Today's view of the Potomac and Shenandoah rivers passing through the water gap in the Blue Ridge Mountains has changed little from Meriwether Lewis' view in 1803. Lewis hoped to find a similar, accessible trade route on rivers passing through the Rocky Mountains.

Marker can be reached from the intersection of Shenandoah Street (Business U.S. 340) and Potomac Street, on the right when traveling north.
