Grandfather Mountain - A number of hiking trails at Grandfather Mountain are temporarily closed because of increased bear activity, according to an announcement posted today on Grandfather Mountain's Web site. The closed trails are the Grandfather Extension Trail, the Black Rock Trail and the Grandfather Trail from the Mile High Swinging Bridge to MacRae Peak.
Bears, including a mother bear with cubs, have been seen in this area, which is now a state park.
N.C. park rangers also say hikers should not access Grandfather Mountain from the parking areas at the Profile Trail and the Daniel Boone Scout Trail.
