The majestic peak of Grandfather Mountain makes up one of North Carolina’s most iconic vistas, and the Daniel Boone Scout Trail is arguably the best route for hikers looking to climb to the top. The trail offers an abundance of biodiversity and scenic views the whole way up. Come along as we check out unique trail experiences in the state with Ten to Try, premiering August 31 on PBS NC and on the PBS App. Special thanks: Great Trails State Coalition for the NC Year of the Trail & SECU Foundation
