If you are ever in or near Virginia, you simply must visit Grayson Highlands State Park. It is near Mount Rogers and Whitetop Mountain, Virginia’s two highest mountains. On one of our days of hiking, my lil’ family encountered beautiful wild ponies.
Part of the hike is on the Appalachian Trail and provides hikers respite at Thomas Knob Shelter.
It was a beautiful day and a beautiful hike that still makes me smile. Sometimes, it is the little things. Do you have a particular hike or outing that remains etched in your memory and replays in a loop in your mind?

Wow, did they really let you get that close Melanee?
@Tina, yes, they allowed us to get really close. In fact, they really enjoyed interacting with our chocolate lab.
