Glassy Mine Overlook on the Blue Ridge Parkway

The Glassy Mine Overlook is found near milepost 437 on the Blue Ridge Parkway.  It was visited on the late morning/early afternoon of 25 July 2013, as suggested by an Asheville Citizen-Times article, “Wildflower Season Hits Peak” by George Ellison, 21 July 2013, page B7.  There were other wildflower seekers brought there by reading this piece and the weather cooperated with gorgeous sunshine and a comfortable 70° F.
