Last weekend I went to North Carolina to visit family. While there, we went hiking at
Grayson Highlands State park in Virginia (the Web site doesn't do it justice). I was ambivalent about going because it was a 45 minute drive and I was sick of being in the car, but once I got there I changed my tune entirely. I can sum up the awesomeness of this park in two words: wild ponies. Yes, you heard me, wild ponies. Once you enter the gate, you never know where the ponies may show up.
Most of the ponies we met were pretty friendly too. This little guy followed us for awhile, probably hoping for handouts. Seriously, how cool is it to hang out with wild ponies?
The hiking wasn't bad either, but bring a jacket and decent shoes. It gets chilly quick and the trails are rocky.
This place must be a big hit with kids (and kids at heart); it would have been my dream destination in my pony-
lovin' youth.
