WONDERS NEVER CEASE AT
Grandfather Mountain
R
ecognized by the United Nations
as a nature preserve of global
importance, Grandfather Mountain
is a not-for-profit nature park that
protects the natural wonder of its
geographic landmark and offers the
public year-round access to fantastic
scenery, educational programs, activities
and more.
Drive your vehicle through the park
for sightseeing, including incredible
mountain views as far as the eye can see.
You'll get a rush on the famous Mile High
Swinging Bridge, the 228-foot suspended
footbridge connecting two peaks
(perhaps topped only by the 360-degree
view from the other side). Guests can't
miss the environmental habitats for native
wildlife such as black bears, bald eagles,
river otters and elk; the Grandfather
Mountain Nature Museum with its theater
for short films and an exhibit gallery; and
access to over 12 miles of hiking trails for
all ages and skill levels. You can also take
guided hikes with rangers and see the
mountain in a whole new way!
Grab a bite to eat at Mildred's Grill, or
get it to go to enjoy at one of the many
picnic tables at overlooks and other scenic
spots. Those with a sweet tooth can enjoy
solar-powered fudge at the mountain's
eco-friendly Fudge Shop, featuring
varieties of homemade fudge and other
treats.
Grandfather Mountain also offers
numerous educational programs (most
included with cost of admission), thanks
to staff naturalists, including encounters
with bears, elk, cougars, eagles and
otters. Nature-focused segments are
offered as well, including guided walks
and interpretive talks, while specially
scheduled programs offer guests a closer
look at the mountain's unique weather,
climate, flora and fauna.
The fall foliage is always gorgeous,
though there are year-round programs
and fun to be had! Featured events
include a nature photography weekend,
the "Remarkable Rhododendron
Ramble," animal birthday parties, the
popular Grandfather Mountain Highland
Games, Junior Ranger Day, Fall Color
Ramble, Beary Scary Halloween and more.
You don't want to miss these fun,
family-friendly outings! See their online
calendar (and add a few of their events to
your own!) at grandfather.com.
Look no further for a mile-high
adventure! Grandfather Mountain
stands at 5,946 feet above sea level
and has shared the wonders of the
natural world since 1952.
