Randy Johnson’s new book Grandfather Mountain: The History and Guide to an Appalacian Icon details the story and geology of the mountain, one of the region’s most beloved landmarks. Randy founded Grandfather mountain’s trail management program in 1978 and serves on the state park’s Advisory Committee. He is also the author of the bestselling Hiking North Carolina. We can’t wait to have this author and hiking legend in our midst!

Stroll & Play
The Park at Flat Rock is a 66 acre park surrounded by a perimeter trail of approximately 1.5 miles in length. Along the trail is a scenic stream, seasonal flora and fauna, restored creek beds, and beautiful wetlands. The park also offers a newly structured play ground space!
We will meet in the parking lot by the Welcome center before departing on the perimeter trail, this trail is a gravel trail appropriate for strollers (jogging or durable wheels), carriers, and little walkers. There are several places to stop along the way with park benches if we need to take a little break. We will end at the playground where we can have a snack and let the children play.
