Beagle Gap – Bear Den Mountain Tractor Seats – Shenandoah National Park – Benchmark DEN HW3342

Short AT section hike - parked at Beagle Gap and hiked to McCormick Gap and back. Goal was to connect some stranded AT miles on my section hike and to see the tractor seats. While I was up there, I decided to find the benchmark for the peak. It was a little tricky, actually 0.3 miles south on the AT on the way to the second tower, not at the peak. The peak benchmark seems to be missing but I found the drill hole. I found one offset and also some of the references in the datasheet. https://www.ngs.noaa.gov/cgi-bin/ds_mark.prl?PidBox=HW3342
