Our last stop and our main destination was Grandfather Mountain. It is a private owned attraction with a wild animal exhibit (small zoo) and a nature museum. The mountain itself is very high up, reminiscent of Pikes Peak on a much smaller scale. There is a swinging walking bridge out to the peak of the mountain and then a climb across the rocky face to the pinnacle. We made it across the bridge and out onto the rocks a ways and then Sue chickened out. L. It was an awesome view but I am sure more beautiful out on the edge. Oh well! It was quite windy and cool but we had a good time
