Photograph of a view of Cahuenga Pass looking south near a summit, showing traffic, Hollywood, ca. July 1928. Automobiles make their way down the wide, unlined road in two lanes, flanked to either side by mountains. A line of utility poles stretche their wires toward the camera to the right, behind which a dirt motor path up into the mountains is visible. A narrower, secondary road can be seen to the left of and below the main one.
