In briefanswer capsule

The Gap of Rohan is a broad open valley that separates the Misty Mountains from the northernmost lower slopes of Ered Nimrais, the White Mountains. Isengard lies far to the south at the end of the Misty Mountains and is not distant from this gap. At the Council of Elrond Gandalf speaks of his journey to Saruman and names the nearby gap, whose character Boromir can confirm. It lies within Rohan.
