About this postcard

Two visitors in bright jackets sit on a rocky ledge at a overlook, looking out over a green, wooded valley toward the slopes of Grandfather Mountain. The card names the spot as a scenic viewpoint on the Blue Ridge Parkway near Linville, North Carolina. Grandfather Mountain, the highest peak in the Blue Ridge range, and the parkway that skirts it are among the best-known scenic attractions of western North Carolina; the copyright line credits photographer Hugh Morton, whose family long owned the mountain and who campaigned for its preservation.
