December Dollar Days at Grandfather Mountain

Throughout December at Grtandfather Mountain each person who lives, works or goes to college in Mitchell, Avery, Watauga, Ashe, Alleghany, and Wilkes counties (plus guests traveling in their vehicle) are invited to visit during December for $1 or a donation of canned goods. “We are pleased to continue the Dollar Days tradition," said the Grandfather Mountain President Crae Morton. “Grandfather Mountain would not be what it is without the support of the local community, and we thank everyone for their generosity and good will.”  Due to a shortage of donations and an immediate need at food banks, Grandfather Mountain is adding an extra way for those who work and reside in the High Country to take advantage of Dollar Days. We are especially aware of how economic conditions have affected the ability of nonprofits to deliver the kinds of services that our communities need.”

The Mountain is open every day in December except Christmas Day, weather permitting. The hours of operation are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. with ticket sales ending at 4 p.m. For current weather conditions, phone the Entrance gate at 828-733-4337.  Website:  http://www.grandfather.com
