What People Say…

" I live close by, and I'm getting a degree in photography. Grandfather Mtn offers so many landscape experiences. I got an amazing picture of Heller's Blazing Star. I love it there. The people are nice, you can get close to the animals. My favorite animals there are the eagles and otters. I've been up there at least 7 times this year alone. This mountain is the reason why my family and I moved here! !"
