Things To Do
Beacon Heights Overlook Trail
A quick and easy hike with amazing views. Kid friendly!
Rough Ridge Lookout - Grandfather Mountain, NC.
This hike is a little longer and a little steeper but a great trail with lots of really good scenic views.
Linville Falls - Trail and Waterfall
This is a flatter, longer hike with a few different "lookout" spots to see Linville Falls.
Wilderness Run Alpine Coaster
This is such a fun family activity! Designed for kids, but still exciting enough to be a good time for adults too ;)
Grandfather Mountain
Grandfather Mountain has many attractions including wildlife habitats, gift shops, food and a mile high swinging bridge. Grandfather also has a few different trails you can hike at the very top of the mountain.
Grandfather Vineyard & Winery
A charming winery placed right off of the Watuga River, with food trucks and live music, it's a great place to spend the day. Kid friendly!
Old Hampton Store & Barbeque
Best BBQ spot in the area - live music, good food, local craft beer & cocktails. It's next door to an art shop with local handmade goods.
Sorrento's Italian Bistro
Italian spot that's right next to an arcade and ice cream shop. Located where the welcome party will be held, so it would be a great place to grab dinner before the party get's started!
Mountain Grounds Coffee & Tea Co.
Great spot for coffee and quick bites.
