  • Join me as I dare walk across the mile high swinging bridge at the peak of Grandfather Mountain in North Carolina! Cross the bridge & walk across the rocks. Nothing to stop you, if you fall. Beautiful views, wildlife, & newly forged friendships await you, if you dare!

    I have been there before. I am not typically afraid of heights, but my stomach dropped walking across. lol It is absolutely beautiful though!!!

      I totally agree!✨ I’m not afraid of heights either, but when people keep stopping on the bridge, more people are walking onto the bridge, & you remember seeing the sign that reads “40 person limit “, you tend to freak out a little, lol!😂

      It was amazing!✨ So beautiful! I just kept recalling the 40 person limit, whilst people were stopping, and more were continuing to walk onto the bridge!😂

      Thanks, Carolyn! I totally understand! Walking along the edge of the mountain without any advanced safety measures isn’t for everyone… I questioned my own judgement for a split second, lol! 😂 Your son & daughter sound like my type of adventure buddies!🙌🏽 Thanks for watching!💛

    Grandfather Mountain is incredible. That bridge is terrifying. Nobody tells you when you cross it, you have to do it again on the way back...lol.Once was enough for me,many years ago.

    • @lakikaia

      Absolutely!✨ The views are breathtaking!⛰️ I’d love to see the Redwoods where you’re currently at! Nature is truly remarkable! It reminds us of how small we truly are. There’s something inspiring & humbling about that realization. Safe & happy travels, my friend! See you down the road sometime!

      You should definitely explore this area when you’re up here traveling!🙌🏽 Beautiful views! There’s actually quite a bit more to explore once you’ve entered the park. The swinging bridge was the only activity we had time to do that day, once we hiked up to it.
      And yes, @tip213 was such a joy to be around. Hilarious! I told her that she should start her own YT Channel!💛

    Good thing you didn't see any bears. That would have been hilarious with them chasing you across Bridge. There are a lot of them up there😮 wonder if the lady in your video knew there were bears up there😂

    • @lakikaia
      @lakikaia  ปีที่แล้ว

      Seeing black bears would’ve been an amazing experience… just as long as they weren’t chasing anyone. 🐻 Luckily, Black bears are non-aggressive, and would prefer to avoid human encounters… Kinda like me most days, lol! Thanks for watching the video!💛
