Sunrise at the Swinging Bridge

November 25, 2023 @6:30 am

$14.00 – $40.00
Grandfather Mountain's Mile High Swinging Bridge at Sunrise

Enjoy the rare opportunity to visit Grandfather Mountain outside of regular operating hours and see a sunrise from the top of the mountain. Sunrise is at 7:14 a.m. Nov. 25, 2023, and park gates open at 6:15 a.m. Due to safety regulations, participants may only visit the Mile High Swinging Bridge area during the event. The Top Shop gift shop and restrooms will be accessible during this time. A fun family event for Thanksgiving Weekend!

Participants are encouraged to bring a flashlight and wear heavy winter jackets, hats, gloves and rubber-soled shoes. The event may be canceled on short notice in case of inclement weather. In addition, a picture-perfect sunrise, unfortunately, cannot be guaranteed.

Tickets for this event go on sale here at 10 a.m. Monday, October 16. Admission to this Sunrise at the Swinging Bridge event costs $40 for general admission, $24 for children (ages 4-12) and $14 for members of Grandfather Mountain’s Bridge Club. Admission includes an entire day’s access to Grandfather Mountain. As the remainder of the park doesn’t open until 9 a.m., participants are welcome to leave the park following sunrise to return later in the day for no additional cost.

This event is limited to 150 guests.
