“Dollar Days” return at Grandfather Mountain 🐻🦦🦅🦌

Grandfather Mountain will open its gates to High Country residents, employees and their guests for only $5 each during the month of April, as the park’s “Dollar Days” promotion returns in time for spring. The promotion allows anyone who lives or works in Alleghany, Ashe, Avery, Mitchell, Watauga or Wilkes counties — along with their guests traveling in the same vehicle — to visit at the discounted rate (per person). Students attending a local college or university are eligible for the discount, as well.

Our daily programming also starts April 1. This will be the first "Dollar Days" with the new Wilson Center for Nature Discovery open.

To learn more and find out details on how to book, visit grandfather.com/dollar-days-2023.

Beech Mountain Ski Resort has invested so much with Village improvements. The ice skating rink is gone- replaced by 6-8 fire pits each encircled with Adirondack chairs, storefronts updated, siding replaced and painted, along with updates at the Brewery. There’s a lot for non-skiers to now enjoy. Be sure and give them a visit. ☃️🎄⛷🏂🎅🏼🤶🏻
