This is a picture of the swinging bridge at Grandfather Mountain. It is one mile above sea level which isn't very high at all. It was built in 1952 and was made of wood. It was called the swinging bridge because well it would swing a lot when the wind below and people walked across it. It was rebuilt in 1999 using steel to replace the floor, cables, and rials. After it was rebuild it doesn't swing anymore. That was also kind of disappointing when I went across it. I wish I could have gone across it when it was still wooden.
All information came from the grandfather mountain website.

Really such things disappoint us . We should visit such places taking a quick decision.

That is no fun without the swaying and swinging as you cross.
