What People Say…

"I went to Grandfather Mountain with my boyfriend. It was absolutely amazing. After feeding the bears and venturing through one of the trails our exciting day ended with my boyfriend proposing to me on the Mile High Swinging Bridge. He even got someone to take a picture! It was a perfect end to an awesome day... and a very unique place for a proposal! We plan on trying to come back very soon. I think it is a trip everyone should take at least once! "
