Grandfather Mountain

Towering almost 6,000 feet above northwest North Carolina, this massive mountain presents visitors with opportunities for rejuvenation, excitement and family memories in a natural haven that will endure forever. Known for the 360-degree views from its Mile High Swinging Bridge, Grandfather Mountain is a sanctuary where guests can come eye-to-eye with bears, cougars, otters, a golden eagle and deer in natural habitats, learn about the natural world from knowledgeable guides, stroll gentle nature paths or hike craggy alpine trails. Rugged or civilized, you'll find the mountain adventure that suits your personal comfort level in a place where wonders never cease.
