Abstract:

The Grandfather Trail at Grandfather Mountain is an extremely strenuous and daunting trail leading to one of the highest points in the eastern United States, MacRae Peak. The Trail features ladders up rocky cliffs, rock scrambles, narrow passages, and steep inclines, but the view of the wilderness and the Blue Ridge Mountains is well worth the exertion.
