Default A visit to Grandfather Mountain in the 'vert

Yesterday was the last day for a trek on the Blue Ridge Parkway before a cold front sweeps through today and removes most of the fall leaves. All photos taken on the NC part of the BRP from Asheville to Grandfather Mountain near Linville. We couldn't put the top down as it was just too chilly. 48 degrees at the top. Brrr... but the bear liked it.
Just click on the photos a few times to enlarge if you like.

Thank you! A couple more. The ride to the top of Grandfather Mountain, and the swinging bridge is a blast too. We had our own parking spot. Glad the emergency brake held.

We've probably done it all here in this part of the country. We've lost track of how many times we have done the Tail of the Dragon. I posted photos here once: https://ls1tech.com/forums/convertib...td-photos.html
Also the Cherohala Skyway, etc....
If ever down this way give us a holler.
