What People Say…

" President Theodore Roosevelt said one must visit the Grand Canyon before they die. I say one must also visit Grandfather Mountain. They are both "Grand." I lost my father to cancer many years ago and now I have a terminally ill mother. Going to the top of the mountain & crossing the bridge to the rocks I finally felt at peace. I was so proud of my 7 year old son crossing the Swinging Bridge on his first attempt."
