Thanks Steve. We went pretty early in the day. Plus we were there during the Highland Games. The traffic around Linville during this event probably kept the Grandfather Mountain visitor count down. Mark

Unless I am mistaken, the swinging bridge is in the privately owned park and not the state park correct? ....photography, the art of seeing something with a new set of eyes.....capturing the ordinary in an extraordinary way!

Unless I am mistaken, the swinging bridge is in the privately owned park and not the state park correct? I have some time to determine if I want to pay to get on the private park or not. From what I read, a major portion of Grandfather Mountain became a State Park in 2008. However, the "developed portion" (the bridge, nature museum, and animal habitats) is managed by a non-profit organization and they charge $20 / adult to enter the property. You can read the details of the purchase and current management of the property at the following link.... Mark
