The Rough Ridge Bridge is on the Tanawha Trail in North Carolina near Grandfather Mountain. From the photographer: “I’ve been on Rough Ridge Trail when the fog was so thick you couldn’t see your own nose, only to have the wind change direction and give you vista views for miles. Add to this the changing of seasons, varying weather conditions and different angles of light  from the sun and you have something truly magical.”
