Grandfather Mountain

Grandfather Mountain is right off the Blue Ridge Parkway (though we couldn't go on the parkway, due to the ice and snow on the road)
The Mountain's elevation is 5,946 feet. The Mile High Bridge is about 700 feet from the top of the Mountain...The day we went it was VERY COLD and SUPER WINDY!! The bridge is the highest swinging footbridge in America. It's called the Mile High Bridge, because it is suspended more then a mile above sea level. (For someone who is afraid of heights, I did really good to get across it...though Jon said it wasn't swinging, I KNOW it was!!)
