📌Grayson Highlands State Park is one of my favorite state parks in Virginia for so many reasons:
• you can see wild & feral ponies along the trails
• among the highest mountain peaks in the state, many over 5,000 feet and the landscape vastly changes above the tree line. The views are panoramic & absolutely epic!
• fantastic day hiking and backpacking trails
• the Appalachian Trail runs right through the park
• beautiful overlooks
🥾 Great Trails in the Park:
- Massie Gap to Wilburn Ridge Loop 2.3 miles
- Twin Pinnacles Trail 1.6 miles
- Haw Orchard to Twin Pinnacles 2 miles
- Massie Gap to Elk Garden 8.8 miles
- Scales via the Appalachian Trail 7.6 miles
⛺️You can also primitive camp along the Appalachian Trail if you are backpacking. I have tent camped along the trail in multiple locations several times and it’s absolutely magical when you wake up in the morning...
