A small portion of the vista at the Bluff Mountain View overlook on the Blue Ridge Parkway is still open, but much of it is blocked to some extent by trees, most of which are in the middle of the overlook. You can still get a good photo from either end. There are a number of mountains in the scene, but which one is Bluff Mountain I have no idea.

Aside from stopping to take photos, you can pick up the Bluff Mountain Trail from here and hike to the top. The trail passes right in front of the parking area. Visit the Doughton Park Hiking Trails web page for more information.
