It may be helpful to others to mention blue blazed trails indicate not just overlooks but also footpaths to water sources.
"Regardless of which way you proceed to Courthouse Bald, north or south, White Blazes periodically mark the AT to keep you on track. If you pass a blue blaze, it indicates that there is a side trail with an overlook at the end of it."

Appalachian Trail MountainHi there,
May I suggest that you attach this mountain/rock page as a child to the Appalachian Trail Mountains page?
http://www.summitpost.org/appalachian-trail-mountains/174869
This would provide some context to your page and make it easier to find.
Cheers,
Sarah
