Description
Photograph of automobiles clustered at the opening of the Mulholland Highway, December 1924. Three rows of early automobiles make their way up the hill and through the mountains on the Mulholland Highway. Rocks and scrub vegetation cover the slopes to either side, a parked car and a wooden platform visible to the right, just off the road. At the peak of the hill, a banner hung between two trees reads "Welcome. Mulholland Highway. 55 Miles of Scenic Splendor". Despite this information, both the back of the photoprint and the picture file card list the road as Mulholland Drive.
