Hello and Happy Thursday &
I have more trip photos from our recent road trip on the Blue Ridge Parkway to Asheville North Carolina. On this day, we visited Grandfather Mountain State Park, there is an admission fee that is used to preserve this beautiful mountain park, it's biodiversity and all it's nature.
Below are the Split Rock and Sphinx Rock, rock formations in this park are supposedly dated back to 1.2 billion years.
Rock formation is title Sphinx Rock, it does have a Sphinx face.
There is a wildlife preserve, we saw the cute river otter, elk and eagles.
It was a windy day, I was thankful they have anchored this bridge so it does not swing.
Me and my shadow on the Mile High Swinging Bridge.
The closer view from the Swinging Bridge, I assume the buildings are hotels, condo and vacation homes.
The American Robin seemed to be enjoying these berries.
I counted at least 5 Robins in this bush with these red berries.
I am so thankful to be retired and able to take road trips.
I was thankful to see any birds, this trip was more for hiking and waterfalls than birding.
I am thankful for all your visits and comments.
Thank you Michelle for hosting Thankful Thursday.
Thank you to Yogi the host of Skywatch Friday

There is a Swinging Bridge, which is a mile high above sea level. The mountain is 5946 feet high and is estimated to be 300 million years old.
