Note: At 3:10 seconds into the video the narrator describes the view looking north to highway 105 when actually you are looking due south to the Blue Ridge Parkway. At this point the videographer actually zooms in on the parking lot to Beacon Heights and then to the antenna on Grandmother Mountain with Table Rock and Hawksbill mountain shown in the distance behind the antenna.
