“Thousands of tired, nerve-shaken, over-civilized people are beginning to find out going to the mountains is going home; that wilderness is a necessity...” ― John Muir
Grandfather Mountain, one of the highest peaks in the Blue Ridge Mountain range (elevation 5,946 ft), is 70 miles from Asheville, just off the Blue Ridge Parkway. While it is not as tall as nearby Mt. Mitchell, it offers more rugged terrain and better vistas from its rocky summit. Grandfather Mountain is also a globally recognized nature preserve. -Source
Probably the most photographed waterfall in North Carolina
Linville Falls is pretty much incomparable when it comes to size, beauty, accessibility, and photogenic qualities, and thus it is one of the most recognizable and popular in the state. It has the highest water volume of any major falls along the Blue Ridge. -Source
