Timber Hollow Overlook sits at 3,346 feet on Skyline Drive, facing west with terrain dropping 728 feet within 600 meters of the viewpoint. Nakedtop rises to the southwest at 1.7 miles, with Breedlove Knob further west and Hoak Hill, Varner Hill, and Hershberger Hill spread across the northwest and west-northwest between 3.0 and 4.2 miles out. The overlook faces directly toward sunset, so evening light comes in low across the ridges rather than from the side. Sunset times shift through the year, from about 16:56 in December to 20:42 in June, changing how long the western view stays lit. Harrisonburg lies 27.6 miles to the west-southwest, with Waynesboro and Staunton further south along the same general direction. Stony Man Lookout precedes this stop on the drive, and Crescent Rock Overlook follows it.
