Grandfather's naturalists have been nurturing
Monarch butterflies from caterpillar through
chrysalis so they can be released to migrate
to Mexico. Visitors and staff members
alike have been fascinated to watch the
mysterious transformation of the black-white-and-yellow-stripped
caterpillars into stunning black and orange
butterflies.
And WIN a behind the scenes tour of Grandfather
Mountain for your family! The person who
comes closest to predicting the actual
winter temperature and snowfall totals
will receive a day pass for six to the
Mountain with lunch included at Mildred's
Grill.
Snow
and ice in the middle of October did not
make work any easier at the Top Shop construction
site on Grandfather Mountain. During the
few sunny days they did have, the crew
worked at break-neck pace installing the
elevated walkway that connects the building
with the path to the Mile High Swinging
Bridge.
