Breathtaking View!

We decided to check out Grandfather Mountain while on vacation in the Boone, Blowing Rock, Linville area.

It's $14 per adult, but worth every penny. There is the Sphinx and Split Rocks which date back many many years ago. Definitely something fun for the kids to climb on!! They also have a nature museum and an area where you can see animals such as bears, eagles, etc in their natural habitats. And of course, at the very top is a breathtaking view. There is the famous Swinging Bridge.

This is a wonderful attraction for the entire family!
