§ 02 — OVERVIEW
The rugged slopes of Grandfather Mountain proved a challenging task to engineers as they completed the last section of the Parkway here in 1987, 52 years after construction began. To protect the fragile and ecologically sensitive slopes of the mountain, Parkway planners designed the award-winning Linn Cove Viaduct, and the visitor center at MP 304 celebrates this achievement.
The beautiful Tanawah Trail runs nearby. The visitor center is currently closed, but parking lot is open for trail access.
