Guests will enjoy the rare opportunity to visit the park before it opens to the public to witness a wonderful sunrise at the Mile High Swinging Bridge. The second sunrise event in 2026 is planned with summer foliage and blooms in mind, allowing for scenic serendipity for early risers. Tickets for the Aug. sunrise event go on sale on Grandfather Mountain’s website on June 2 at 10 a.m. This event is an additional cost.
