Dolls Gap

From West Virginia (WV) Cyclopedia


Doll's Gap, or Dolls Gap, forms the famous "saddle" of Gap Mountain in West Virginia's eastern panhandle. A "wind gap," the formation was established long ago by a stream which once crossed the mountain; after years of uplifting, the stream abandoned the pass across the mountains.

Doll's Gap can best been seen from an overlook on U.S. 50 Skyline (http://www.topozone.com/map.asp?lat=39.32361&lon=-79.12944) where the highway descends the Allegheny Front.
