outline of an old man lying down to sleep, thus
its apt name. Since the late 19th century, the
mountain has been widely visited and today
visitors get to experience the thrill out of
walking across the Mile High Swinging Bridge.
From the bridge you can view the baby bears and
mountain cougars living in the habitats atop the
mountain. In addition to browsing the wildlife
habitats and walking across the famed bridge,
visitors and hiking enthusiasts also love

Profile trail is another popular Grandfather
