Grandfather Mountain

Recorded October 22, 2019
Grandfather Mountain is a mountain, a non-profit attraction, and a North Carolina state park near Linville, North Carolina. At 5,946 feet, it is the highest peak on the eastern escarpment of the Blue Ridge Mountains. The Blue Ridge Parkway passes by the south side of the mountain. It is best known for its mile-high swinging bridge, the highest in America, built in 1952 by Hugh Morton. The bridge links two of the mountain's rocky peaks, and is known as the "swinging" bridge due to its tendency to sway in high winds. Morton inherited the mountain from his grandfather and developed the tourist attraction.

I remember my Father took us there back in 1969 in his 69 Chevy Custom Impala. On a good day you can see Charlotte NC from there.

I enjoyed this very much and fond family memories it brought back. There is a noticeable absence of children and young people. Things change. (edit) Perhaps the the wrong day for them. A Tuesday.

I remember going there when I was a kid...probably in middle school(around 1986). I remember the road scared me to death...and as I'm afraid of heights, the bridge was a major challenge, but I made it across, and have pictures on the other side. I remember back then, they had hang glider ramps on the other side of the bridge, on the edge of the mountain. You could go up to them, and I have a picture taken with my dad sitting on one.

The view from that bridge is beautiful and scary, just moved to Charlotte in May 2019. Need to take trip up to GF mountain asap.

So your walking on the "grandfather mountain" in North Carolina called the "swinging bridge" the part that really sank the ship was.. walking halfway across the bridge skipped over the.. 2000 feet highest point, the most thrilling part of excitement THE BOTTOM! Faces stiffened by the windy cold air hoping no one bumps into eachother by accident, once again missing the MARK.. point of interest... thank you it must've been scary shaky cold. ⛄☃🌬

Thanks for sharing such a beautiful video. I'm came to GFM today for the views, but unfortunately there is extremely too much fog over here, you barely drive anywhere because it's very difficult to see.

This video is great, but may I suggest a shorter more edited version. This is great for the Director’s Cut, but some KZbin viewers might prefer a shorter version say maybe three or four minutes of your best footage.

[@Renfield37]
