Rim Drive Historic District. Cloudcap is the highest point along Rim Drive, the observation station located at the terminus of a spur road that diverges from the main circuit. It ends in a one-way loop that passes along a parapet with masonry guardrail and a raised walk, like other parking overlooks. However, this one differs in having an oval shape and a sloping area, intended to facilitate the flow of vehicles and protect a stand of plantings.
