About this Image
| Title | Tanbark Ridge Parkway Overlooking |
| Date | July 4, 1974 |
| Description | View of the paved overlook at Tanbark Ridge showing tourists and their vehicles. Taken by C.E. Westveer on July 4, 1974 at Milepost 376.7. |
| Commentary | Compare this image with the first photo of Tanbark Ridge Overlook from 1956. Here we can see the drastic change in vehicles. Several tourists are viewing the scenery. Although almost twenty years have passed since the other photograph there are still a large number of tourists and vehicles, no doubt due to the Independence Day holiday. |
