Today we had Grayson Highlands State Park on the schedule. It has been so warm, it seemed only a high elevation hike would be doable in the heat. So five of us ladies made the long drive there. It was several degrees cooler there compared to the valley areas, but the skies were clear and the sun was fierce! But it wasn't too bad on us.
We hiked up to Wilburn Ridge via Rhododendron and Appalachian Trails and eventually came across some ponies. Several looked ready to have their colts soon. We returned down the ridge a bit and turned left onto the AT and headed toward a large rock outcropping. Finally we reached a spur trail that returned us to our vehicles. We hiked about 4 and a half miles.
It was a gorgeous day for hiking! Everything was so beautiful! It is quite a drive, but well worth the time spent.
