The foliage is spectacular at Grandfather Mountain this weekend! More than half of the trees above 4,000 feet have turned. The color will be at its peak along the Blue Ridge Parkway between Blowing Rock and Grandfather for the next few days. Today's photograph shows a guest posing beneath a brilliant Mountain Ashe tree that grows next to the Split Rock. Click here for today's report. |

Fall color comes early to the peaks of Grandfather, so you don't have to wait until late in the month to see spectacular foliage. Visit the High Country on weekdays during October if you can. When you can only travel on peak weekends, we recommend you arrive at Grandfather Mountain before 10 am or plan to visit after 3 pm. |
