Notes |
The tourist attraction advertised by this decal is a family-oriented nature park covering one-third of Grandfather Mountain, which is located near Linville, North Carolina. The park is operated by the nonprofit Grandfather Mountain Stewardship Foundation, and is designed to highlight the diverse array of biological habitats present on the mountain. A major attraction of the park is a 228-foot suspension bridge that crosses a ravine over a mile above sea level. The remaining two-thirds of Grandfather Mountain, all of which has been declared the Southern Appalachian Man and Biosphere Reserve by the United Nations, is a state park with numerous hiking trails. |
