The Narrows, Water gap in Bedford County, United States
The Narrows forms where the Raystown Branch of the Juniata River cuts through Evitts Mountain, creating a natural passage between rock formations.
The geological structure developed through extensive folding and faulting of rock beds, revealing four distinct formations along the north side of the gap.
The Pennsylvania Turnpike and Lincoln Highway traverse this natural corridor, making it a central point for transportation infrastructure in the region.
The location allows travelers to cross the mountainous terrain efficiently, with both U.S. Route 30 and the Pennsylvania Turnpike utilizing this natural passage.
The roadcut along the Turnpike displays overturned rock beds, where the Tuscarora, Juniata, Bald Eagle, and Reedsville formations are visible.
