The Mile High Swinging Bridge, the only swinging bridge at a mile high, was built to give visitors easy access to the breath-taking view from Grandfather Mountain's Linville Peak. The 228-foot suspension bridge spans an 80-foot chasm at more than one mile in elevation. The nearby Grandfather Mountain Nature Museum features a billion-year-old rock that you can touch!
Grandfather Mountain is the highest peak in the Blue Ridge Mountain range, with an elevation of 5,964 foot. Grandfather Mountain is located on US Highway 221, two miles north of Linville, North Carolina, and one mile south of the Blue Ridge Parkway.
