The All-Day Rhododendron Ramble

Every year, Grandfather Mountain celebrates the rhododendron blooms with the Remarkable Rhododendron Ramble, a series of guided strolls for you to observe the blossoms and learn about their history, attributes and roles they play in the mountain’s ecological communities. The easygoing walks take approximately 20 minutes and are fit for guests of all ages. The meeting place varies, depending on where the blooms are most vibrant.

The celebration culminates with this full day celebration event with guided rambles at 12, 1, 2 and 3 PM. Kids craft stations are available all day, as well as special interpretive displays. All Rhododendron Ramble events are included with admission.
