Title Harkening Hill from Sharp Top
Date 1952
Description Image shows a group of people on Sharp Top Mountain. They are gathered at a lookout point, which is surrounded by a stone wall. One man is holding a pair of binoculars, and another man is crouched down with a camera in his hands. A few of the people are looking toward the camera. Harkening Hill, one of the Peaks of Otter, is visible in the background of the image, and the Blue Ridge Parkway appears to circle around this side of the peak. The image was taken near milepost 85.9 and Section 1K of the Blue Ridge Parkway. Taken by Abbie Rowe in 1952.
