Best Answer

Grandfather Mountain is an incredible natural wonder. From miles away for the base of Grandfather you can see the mountains outline the shape of a person's face. Grandfather Mountain is very important to the local town and county governments for a source of income. Grandfather Mountain is now a state-owned park.
