Hiking in North Carolina

Mount Jefferson State Park - located in Ashe County, includes 4,900 foot summit of Mt. Jefferson, from where hikers can view North Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia. 

Grandfather Mountain - Grandfather trail- begins at the Mile High Swinging Bridge and eventually hits all of Grandfather's three highest peaks.  This 2.4 mile trail requires approximately 5 hours of hiking time to travel the entire length.  It's extremely rugged with only wooden ladders making some sheer cliff faces accessible.   It intersects with several other trails at its northern terminus.  A serious trail for serious hikers only!   A permit with a nominal fee is required.
