CTNC was honored to have Randy Johnson, author of “Grandfather Mountain: The History and Guide to an Appalachian Icon,” share stories and anecdotes about Western North Carolina with our donors and partners.

His personal connection to this region and the information he’s collected over the years is remarkable. We’re grateful that he joined us for our time in Blowing Rock this year.
