Although elk are relatively new to Grandfather Mountain, that wasn’t always the case. Elk population once thrived in the WNC High Country, but their numbers were decimated by over-hunting and loss of habitat in the 18th and 19th centuries. Eventually, they were eradicated entirely from the region. However, in 2001, the National Park Service began reintroducing elk into Great Smoky Mountains National Park, and they’ve been thriving there ever since. At Grandfather Mountain, guests can now be able

🏔️ The story of Grandfather Mountain is as remarkable as the mountain itself. Did you know this 5,946-foot landmark was inherited by a North Carolinian named Hugh Morton? Morton, a photographer and conservationist, turned the mountain into a nationally-known destination and his family sold it to the state after his passing in 2006. Here's the latest Billy Ball Explains NC. If you like this, make sure you give this a thumb's up and share! 🎥 Billy Ball/Shaun Sindelman for @cardinalandpine | Card

The Wildlife Habitats and Wilson Center remain open. Opening status will be evaluated every 30 minutes. During this time, admission is discounted for adults and seniors, although tickets must be purchased in-person. For ticket availability and updates, please c

You may have heard that our area experienced some excitement early this morning via an apparent meteor! A couple of our park cameras captured the landscape totally lighting up just before 1:15 a.m., and we thought it would be fun to share our view of the phenomenon. In this video, the first two clips are from the Grandfather Mountain Entrance Gatehouse (looking south or south/southwest). The last viewpoint is from the back of the Wilson Center for Nature Discovery (looking west). 🎥: GMSF | Gran
