| Date | May 31, 1935 |
| Description | Picture of Bull Head Mountain taken from Route 26 by Edward H. Abbuehl on May 31, 1935, Section 2B, Milepost 229.5-237. (233.7 handwritten on card) |
| Commentary | Bull's Head Mountain is so named because its profile is said to resemble that of a bull's head. The area from which this picture would have been taken is one of 264 scenic pull-offs throughout the Blue Ridge Parkway. The Bullhead Mountain Parking widened pavement area is one that is located near a state highway, allowing visitors to pause while planning a trip over the parkway. It falls into the simplest type of overlook that simply provides a place to pull of the side of the road for the purpose of taking in the vista. |
