Grandfather Mountain - Swinging Bridge on Linville Peak / 7da02519 |
Swinging Bridge on Linville Peak
The famous "mile high" (it's at an elevation of just over 5280 ft) swinging bridge connects two sides of an 80-foot-deep gourge. It doesn't swing when the weather's calm, but the ferocious winds that Grandfather is known for can get it moving around disconcertingly and create an amazing howling sound from the support cables.
