| - The Gap of Rohan is the opening between the mountain ranges of the Misty Mountains and the White Mountains.
- The greatest pass in Rohan — and indeed, in all of western Middle-earth— was the strategic Gap of Calenardhon.Forty miles across and only 3,702 feet in altitude at its center, it served as a grassy doorway between the southern end of the Misty Mountains and the northwest tip of the White Mountains.It joined the Westmarch to the rest of Rohan, and permitted safe sojourning between Eriador and the lands to the east.Startlingly beautiful, the Gap provided some of Endor's most wonderous views.It was known in the Second Age as the Calenhardin, (S. "Green Southern Passage"). It became known after the 26th century of the Third Age as the Gap of Rohan. A purely lowland passage, it could be used freely as long as the Dunlendings of Dunfearan were not involved in either an internal or external war.

A purely lowland passage, it could be used freely as long as the Dunlendings of Dunfearan were not involved in either an internal or external war. In T.A. 1643, Gondorian patrols from Angrenost, the fortress at the southern end of the mountained centered around the tower of Orthanc,had protected the gap and patroled into Dunfearan as far as the watershed line between the valleys of the Dunstrem and the River Angren (Isen), within five days ride of Tharbad.
