Grandfather Mountain
Grandfather Mountain
At 5,946 feet, Grandfather Mountain is the highest peak in this area of the Blue Ridge Mountains, with a 1,500-foot vertical drop into the Linville River Valley to the west and a 4,000-foot vertical drop into the Catawba River basin to the east. These variations in elevation create conditions that support 16 distinct Ecological Communities ranging from rich cove forests and acidic cove forests to heath balds and high elevation rocky summits. Grandfather Mountain is home to 73 rare or endangered species of wildlife.
Some things to enjoy while visiting:
The Woods Walk, The Black Rock Nature Trail, and the Bridge Trail are nature walks which take you through gentle forests and meadows where you'll spot squirrels, songbirds and other forest animals. These paths allow visitors to get out in the woods without being too long or strenuous. For more challenging backcountry hiking exploring Nuwati Trail, Asutsi Trail, Daniel Boone Scout Trail, or Cragway Trail might be more to your liking. Many of these trails use ladders and cables to climb cliff faces. Either way, you will experience the wildlife and awesome views that are found here.
Cross the Mile High Swinging Bridge. This 228-foot suspension bridgehas been in place since 1952 and spans an 80-foot chasmat more than one mile in elevation. The 360-degree panoramic views from the bridge are incredible.
Visit the environmental habitats here at Grandfather Mountain. You'll have the opportunity to see cougars, white-tailed deer, black bears, river otters, bald eagles and golden eagles up close and in their native environment.
The Grandfather Mountain Nature Museum has exhibits designed to educate visitors about the natural history of Grandfather Mountain and the surrounding region. Exhibits include a collection of 62 different North Carolina gems and minerals, a photo exhibit about each of the animals found in the mountain's habitats, birds of North Carolina, a scale model of the Mountain, early explorers, such as Daniel Boone, and Native American artifacts.
Grandfather Mountain habitat is home to as many as 200 different bird species. From woodland species to native high elevation species, such as, Scarlet Tanagers, Pine Siskins, Magnolia Warblers, and Peregrines.
One thing is for certain, no matter how you spend your time at Grandfather Mountain, it will be an unforgettable experience.
