Scaling new heights on the Grandfather Mountain Trail 🗻⛰ This iconic trail in North Carolina’s Grandfather Mountain State Park served up some of the most breathtaking views I’ve ever witnessed. The 2.5 mile hike to Macrae’s Peak (5845 feet) from the upper parking lot was challenging. Yet every grueling step was worth it for vistas like these. From rocky outcroppings offering sweeping panoramas of the Blue Ridge Mountains stretched out before you, to lush spruce fir forests dispersed with wildfl

✈️ Hidden high on Grandfather Mountain, the Daniel Boone Scout Trail to Calloway Peak leads to the eerie wreckage of a Cessna 182Q Skylane that crashed here in 1978 — still resting just below the summit. 🥾 Expect serious adventure: steel ladders, cables, steep rock scrambles, and jaw-dropping ridge views. ⚠️ This is a strenuous, technical hike — good boots, early start & weather check recommended. 📍 Trailhead: Boone Fork Parking Area (Blue Ridge Parkway MP 299.9) 📏 Distance: ~3 mi one way to

Today, Grandfather Mountain is more accessible to individuals with limited mobility than ever before, and we are continually seeking ways to improve. Since 2010, the Top Shop has provided elevator access to the Mile High Swinging Bridge, making the span truly accessible. There are a few hundred yards of paved pathway from the building to the bridge, and a bench is located nearby. Check out this firsthand account, and learn more about our efforts at grandfather.com/visit/accessibility. 🎥: Nichol

More peeks of Grandfather with the little kids. This is a 5 minute raw, unedited look at navigating the Chute. Having started from the profile trail, we descended this to make it over to swinging bridge and then climbed back up out of it in order to return to the trailhead and parking later in the day. And yes, her “I’m not scared anymore” got exceedingly annoying. It’s from a movie and she’s being a total smart a$$. I finally told her to knock it off. 😶🤪🙃🤣 “Grandfather Trail The literal pin
