View from the summit of Pinnacle Mountain, looking down through tall pine trunks and foliage onto a cluster of buildings, parked cars, and a pale open area below. A blue body of water or haze fills the lower portion of the scene. Pinnacle Mountain overlooks Middlesboro in the Cumberland Mountains near Cumberland Gap, a route long used by travelers through the Appalachians.
