Sideling Hill Viewpoint

Sideling Hill Viewpoint sits at 1,329 feet along the Historic National Road in Maryland, with the land dropping 357 feet within 600 meters of the overlook. The view faces due east, aligned directly toward sunrise. Roundtop Hill rises to the southeast at 3.8 miles, with Short Mountain further southeast at 11.9 miles. To the east and east-southeast, the outlook takes in Fort Tonoloway State Park at 4.8 miles, Gerber Field at 5.6 miles, Long Point at 7.8 miles, and Spruce Pine Hollow Park at 11.0 miles. Because the view faces sunrise directly, the eastern sky ahead of the overlook will show the sun's disc on the horizon at dawn across all seasons, with sunrise times ranging from 05:46 at the June solstice to 07:31 at the December solstice. Hagerstown lies 30.4 miles east, Chambersburg is 36.2 miles east-northeast, and Winchester is 37.4 miles south. The next lookout along the route is a scenic overlook.
