Drove up to Grayson Highlands after work Friday night so we'd have a full weekend.
We hiked thru the park into Mt Rogers Wilderness Area and found 20 ponies. Climbed some big rock outcroppings. Hayden came with us! Taryn loved the ponies. There were a few babies she was hugging on. One of the stalions got fairly aggressive when they knew we had food.
We also explored the homestead and park area, beautiful. First time venturing down there. So glad we came Friday night, it give us SO much more time to explore and even relax a bit.\
Weather is amazing. Friday night lows around 45, great sleeping weather. High's in upper 60's to low 70's during the day. Hot in the exposed highlands, cool and a bit chilly at camp in the shade. Found myself going for a light jacket around camp. We had a nice fire Friday night, but everyone was ready for bed around 9:30.
Sunday 6/11/23
We hiked Wilson Creek trail in the morning. Best trail in the park! Half of it is along the creek with waterfalls and pools. Can't believe we haven't done this hike yet, my favorite. Hayden slept in and didn't join us. He didn't sleep great, but I regretted not waking him for this hike. It really was beautiful.
Another great weather night. We build another fire and we were all worn out last night and went to bed around 9:30 again.
