Sublime Fall

from Point Sublime

On October 15, Helen Hopper hiked up to Point Sublime to take this photograph of the peaks of Grandfather Mountain as the sun was going down. The combination of the late afternoon light and the brilliant fall color cast a particularly orange glow over the scene.

What People Say…

"Eight years ago this fall my husband proposed on the Grandfather trail perched on one of the massive rocks where it loops around. It was a gorgeous way to begin this "trail" of our lives together and we return every few years and are never disappointed with the old and new memories we share here! "
