Grandfather Mountain

A $15.00 value, included in the Go Blue Ridge Card!

Offering visitors easy access to its towering peaks, Grandfather Mountain is one of the most biologically diverse mountains in the world and is designated by the United Nations as an International Biosphere Reserve.

Look out from the Mile High Swinging Bridge across mountain ridges cascading away in all directions; stand eye-to-eye with bears, otters, cougars, eagles and deer in natural habitats; hike rugged back-country trails or stroll gentle nature paths; eat in our restaurant or take your order out to one of many scenic picnic areas; or interact with our knowledgeable staff and let us help you find your own perfect mountain adventure.
