A boardwalk trail leading down from Grandfather Mountain offers spectacular views of the Blue Ridge Mountains,

    Great photo Doug. That rock looks like it has landed there from outer space.

    Great colors in a great landscape.
    Like the several layers in the mountains.

    It´s great. I like this place, the rock and the line to the valley.
    I lost some images but in few days I´ll go back on each of them.
    You´re fantastic.
    Nice day!.

    Everything about this is quirky-cool. I love the bizarre existence of the rock and the wonderfully zig-zaggy lines of the stairs.
