A lone figure stands beside a tripod at an overlook, with a sign for the Appalachian Trail marking the spot and a wide valley opening below. The scene reflects how the Skyline Drive corridor in Virginia drew hikers, photographers and motorists to its ridgetop vistas. The Appalachian Trail runs along this ridge, so the sign ties the view to one of the longest footpaths in the eastern United States. Skyline Drive was built during the 1930s as a scenic parkway, and it later became part of Shenandoah National Park, a place where pictures like this one often recorded the landscape as visitors experienced it.
