The Morton Family's legacy of keeping Grandfather Mountain in its wild, natural state will be realized through two changes: the 2009 acquisition of 2,600 acres of back country as North Carolina's newest State Park and the creation of the Grandfather Mountain Stewardship Foundation. The Foundation will work to preserve the Grandfather Mountain while managing the nature park for the enjoyment of the public. The mountain's unique geology and elevation offer plant and animal species not normally found so far south. Join us to explore this spectacular nature preserve and beloved attraction.
