Description:
|
This spectacular rock formation immediately catches your eye as you drive along the Parkway. The towering spires bring to mind a fortified castle, as they did for early explorers, who named the mountain after its imposing presence. For a time from the 1940s to the 1970s, the formation was called Eisenhower Mountain in tribute to Dwight D. Eisenhower's role in WWII. After an outcry from local inhabitants, the name was changed, and Eisenhower Mountain came to refer only to a particular peak. |
