Few natural features possess as much personality as the peaks of
Grandfather Mountain, which dominate the skyline between Boone and
Linville. The mountain takes its name from its resemblance to the
profile of a sleeping old man; it was known to Cherokee hunters as
Tanawha, or "fabulous eagle." Later visitors came to see the
magnificent views, brave the famous Mile-High Swinging Bridge, and
observe the native flora. The mountain is billed as North
Carolina's top scenic attraction. The advent of photography made
Grandfather Mountain the High Country's most photographed
celebrity, with images crafted by the mountain's longtime owner and
champion, legendary photographer Hugh Morton, as well as mementos
of family gatherings and individual visits. Grandfather Mountain
showcases the rich natural and recreational history of this North
Carolina landmark.
