Under the Rainbow

Rainbow of Grandfather

On Sunday, July 13, as a damp afternoon was coming to a close in the North Carolina High Country, the rugged peaks of Grandfather Mountain poked out through surrounding clouds, and a broad rainbow dropped down from the sky above. (Jim Morton photo)

What People Say…

"LOVED IT!!! When we arrived at the parking area, I told my wife, "look at those crazy people up on that rock." Then wouldn't you know it in about 15 minutes I was inducted in to that club. WOW what a VIEW. As close to heaven as we can get till we get there! The kids loved it (5 and 9). "
