In fall of 2018, we still need to build a decent set of stairs at

Bull’s Gap is a good place to see migrants in spring and fall, and some breeding birds:
Scarlet Tanagers, Black-throated Green Warblers, Ovenbirds, Worm-eating Warblers, Brown-headed Nuthatches, Pileated and Hairy Woodpeckers.
September - November, there are hawk; the views are good for soaring birds.

Left to right: Several cars can park in a gravel hardened pull out. A double blue blaze indicates the northbound Pinhoti turns and ascends the slope to the right beyond the Kiosk. The view below is taken from a rock to the right of the curve in the road, beyond the cyclists. The road continues to busy dispersed camps. The kiosk is for the State Game Hollins Wildlife Management area. (The Pinhoti Kiosk above is across 148.) Finally, the FR607 road sign.
