Sunset at the Swinging Bridge

Back by popular demand, Grandfather Mountain, the not-for-profit nature park run by the Grandfather Mountain Stewardship Foundation, is offering a sunset experience in 2026. This special event will provide guests with the rare opportunity to be in the park outside of regular operating hours and to hopefully experience a lovely sunset from the bridge’s lofty vantage point. Tickets for this event go on sale online on Grandfather Mountain’s website Aug. 5 at 10 a.m. Advance registration required.
