And another because – just look!

Grassy 🤍

These winter snow photos are pretty but should not be sought by most. The dangers of visiting these places in these conditions are real. Icy roads and icy trails can end your life. Sounds dramatic but it’s true. There are a number of ways it could go wrong and you should be prepared to handle each scenario. Start by making sure you’re wearing abundant, moisture-wicking layers such as polyester, wool, or nylon. Not blue jeans or that cotton sweater. If your car goes off the road and down the hillside in an area with no cell reception, are you prepared to spend the night in 10° weather without a running engine? What if you’re the last person off of the trail and your vehicle doesn’t start? If you hike two miles in with no reception, slip on ice and break your leg right before it gets dark, are you prepared?

Do you have enough food and water? Will your water freeze and become undrinkable? 4wd to get up the mountain safely? Snow chains if the road is icy? I take all scenarios into consideration before heading out. Hopefully you will too!

Just wow...

“The gift of wisdom comes to you when you have walked enough pathways and found enough dead ends to truly know the forest. In the discovery and rediscovery of every inch of ground comes the knowledge that nothing ever remains the same.”

Just some color to brighten your tuesday.

Grandfather Mountain's distinctive ridgeline rises from the twilit horizon, as seen during yesterday's sunset in Wilkes County, about 50 miles away.

As we look toward our own horizon, please consider a gift to the Grandfather Mountain Stewardship Foundation today, National Philanthropy Day. Every little bit helps ensure that Grandfather Mountain will endure for generations to come, while furthering our mission of inspiring conservation of the natural world.

Fonta Flora history

Legend has it that beneath Lake James rests the lost mountain utopia of Fonta Flora, a diverse community that farmed fertile land and lived in harmony. Getting to the truth behind the lore involves following family history, old maps, and really good beer.
