| Description | Photograph shows an interpretive sign about the Plott Balsam mountain range near mile post 457.9 in section 2Y of the Blue Ridge Parkway. Taken by C. E. Westveer. |
| Commentary | The sign reads: "Before you lies the massive Plott Balsam Range. On one of its eastern slopes Henry Plott, a German immigrant's son, made his home in the early 1800's. In this game-filled frontier, hunting dogs were a prized possession. Here Henry Plott and his descendants developed the famous Plott Bear Hounds carefully selecting for the qualities of stamina, courage, and alertness the breed possesses today." |
