Last week my dog, Ruby, and I made the 5.5-hour drive to Grayson Highlands SP in southwestern Virginia for the April installment of my state park series. The column on GHSP will appear in this Friday’s paper. The Web version will include a slideshow.
The place is breathtaking. The views from Big Pinnacle (the above picture) down into North Carolina are worth the drive alone. But the park has more than just mountain views to offer. We hiked along Cabin Creek, with it’s many waterfalls and crystal clear pools, as well as Wilburn Ridge, which boasts semi-wild ponies and a connector to the Appalachian Trail. Mount Rogers is just an easy 4-mile hike from here.
