bridge and nature museum. Grandfather is home to various festivals and
special events throughout the year including the Highland Games
(July 10 - 13). During this unique event over one hundred Scottish clans
and societies sponsor this celebration of Scottish dance, music and
athletics. Located on US Highway 221, two miles
north of Linville, North Carolina, it is just a short drive for a day of
family fun.
The Blue Ridge Parkway
 The Parkway follows the
Appalachian Mountain chain and provides seemingly endless
views of many parallel ranges connected by cross ranges and scattered
hills. From Shenandoah National Park, to the Great Smokies the
parkway spans 369 miles.
Wildlife is abundant along the Parkway. During the day woodchucks, chipmunks
and squirrels can be seen. At night, skunks, bobcats, foxes,
opossums, and raccoons may be seen along the
roadsides. Whitetail deer and black bears are present, but seldom seen.
Look for them in early morning or evening.

one of the many natural wonders of the High Country. A short walk from the
