| Title | Interpretive sign Sharp Top Trail |
| Date | April 1977 |
| Description | Image shows a wooden sign that is set among large boulders. The sign is titled "Weather at Work" and it discusses the formation of the boulders. The image is likely incorrectly marked as milepost 92.6, which is near Sharp Top overlook. The image was taken on Sharp Top trail, which leads up Sharp Top Mountain, near milepost 85.9 in Section 1K of the Blue Ridge Parkway. The image was taken by Andy Kardos in April 1977. The sign reads: Weather at Work / Residual boulders have here been formed by decomposition and the loosening of the diorite rock masses. Weathering, most active along cracks, slowly forms the boulder-like blocks. / United States Department of Interior / National Park Service |
