Grandfather Mountain and High Country ski resorts - from Grandfather Mountain (the dramatic rocky peak on the Blue Ridge Parkway with its famous Mile High Swinging Bridge is one of North Carolina's most iconic natural landmarks - the International Dark Sky Park and UNESCO Biosphere Reserve status reflect the extraordinary ecological significance of the mountain's spruce-fir forests and diverse wildlife habitat) to the High Country ski resorts (Avery County's Sugar Mountain and Beech Mountain resorts anchor North Carolina's ski industry, attracting winter sports visitors from across the Southeast to the state's highest ski terrain at elevations above 5,500 feet).
