Grandfather Mountain
The thing we like about Grandfather Mountain is that around every turn, there is always so much more to see. They have a huge network of trails that take you on hikes through terrain as gentle as a meadows, to rugged mountains where you need the assistance of cables and ladders. No matter what trail you choose, you will be viewing amazing wildlife and breathtaking views. Grandfather Mountain is open 363 days a year, depending on the weather. They are closed on Thanksgiving and Christmas.
