Visit Grandfather

(Thursday, 04 September 2008) Written by Janice Jones

Grandfather Mountain is located on Highway 221 between Linville and Blowing Rock. It is the highest peak in the Blue Ridge mountain range and a nature preserve. Visitors can enjoy 360-degree views of the mountains, a Mile High Swinging Bridge, wildlife habitats, nature walks & hiking trails. The Mile High Swinging Bridge offers visitors breath taking views from Grandfather Mountain's Linville Peak. The 228-foot suspension bridge spans an 80-foot chasm at an elevation of more than a mile. Grandfather Mountain offers seven envirnmental habitats for black bears, river otters, cougars, bald eagles, golden eagles, and white tailed deer. There are 11 hiking trails varying in difficulty from a gentle walk to a rigorous hike across rugged peaks. There are a number of gentle paths that can be accessed from the summit road and were designed to offer a low-impact into nature. These paths allow a less long and strenuous wooded hike. There is something for everyone at Grandfather Mountain.
