Grandfather Mountain is one of the highest peaks in the Blue Ridge mountains through North Carolina. At about a mile high, it doesn't really compare to the west coast mountains for height, but it still is beautiful country to be in.

Here's a shot of me on a ledge on Grandfather Mountain.
It's lots of fun climbing all over the rocks.
Moments later I was clinging to the edge for dear life!!!

As I hiked up to the peak of Grandfather Mountain, I snapped
