The Highlands

The Virginia High Country extends over several counties in Southwest Virginia. Last weekend, I helped Jim lead a trip to Grayson Highlands State Park. It's a good drive from Emory, but worth it.

This trip was on the Appalachian Trail.

Wild Ponies in the Highlands. I don't know how they react when they run into a black bear...
