Beam Rocks is a 2,661-foot summit about 90 feet above the Laurel Highlands Trail. It is a short hike from the trailhead by the parking lot off the Laurel Summit Road. It offers beautiful views of the Laurel Ridge and Jennerstown. The rocks attract many local rock climbers, but if you are not into this sport, you can find a narrow passage between the rocks leading to caves that are worth exploring. This spot is popular, so do not expect any solitary enjoyment of nature. Be aware of the paths that end at sudden drop-offs.
