A $1 activity fee will be added for each student on the Habitat tour (church groups and coach groups that desire the guided habitat tour pay $1 per person).

What People Say…

" I have visited several mountain peaks in the area and Grandfather Mountain was my favorite. The landscape is awesome. The hikes was like none I have ever been on. The bridge was a experience in itself. You have to see it for yourself to appreciate the splendor there. "
