Review:
Grandfather Mountain inspires awe through natural wonders. Visitors may see an owl one day and rare wildflowers in bloom the next.
Naturalists are available to guide visitors on their journeys. One of the mountain’s highlights is the Mile High Swinging Bridge, from which visitors can have 360-degree panoramic views.
It is America’s highest suspension footbridge. Another highlight is The Grandfather Mountain Nature Museum – home to exhibits about the Grandfather Mountain region.
There is a display of North Carolina minerals and gems and the birds of North Carolina, plus early explorers of the area – including Daniel Boone.
