Hiking the Grayson highlands loop. Not much talking.

Beautiful area.

[@atypicalhiker]

It really is!

[@HikeCamp]

Nice sunny hike until it was not... 🌦 The tree stump was interesting... Nature fascinates.

[@atypicalhiker]

Yes it was. Thanks Max

[@shelaghholder6094]

Love this place!

[@atypicalhiker]

I do too

[@OutOnTrail]

Neat to see the inside of that tree trunk! This is such a great hike... Looked like you had pretty great weather until the end, there. Glad you got to see some of the iconic ponies 👍 Those campsites up on Thomas Knob are excellent -- beautiful views at sunset! Last time I stayed at Scales, I woke up to some bozo's Jeep alarm going off multiple times at 5AM 😂

[@atypicalhiker]

Yes we stayed at scales and I was worried about the cars and tents all in one area. I met a guy who worked with the DOD and formerly Microsoft. He gave me good food and conversation.

[@OutOnTrail]

@@atypicalhiker Sounds like you had a much better time there! Luck of the draw 😂

[@WanderingMonkHikes]

Love Grayson Highlands! Beautiful views, easy hiking, and the tamest “wild ponies” in the world. Of course rain isn’t the best weather to hike in. 😂

[@atypicalhiker]

This was my first hard rain hike. I showed the trail so you could see it became a stream. I realized it wasnt so bad only because the temperature was up in the 70's. In cold weather this would have been a life threatening situation as I was absolutely soaked.

[@WanderingMonkHikes]

@@atypicalhiker yes, the rain can be threatening in the cold. When I hiked from Newfound Gap to Ice Water Shelter it rained all day. Temps were mid-40s, and suddenly it dropped 10 degrees. They had made a fire in the shelter and that kept me safe. Your video brought back great memories. Thanks Kevin!

[@ExpeditionaryJonny]

I have got to make it out there one of these days!

[@atypicalhiker]

It is worth a visit.

[@SeniorHiker77]

I want to hike that trail one day. Lol

[@JasonOutdoors]

It's a little over 14 hours for me.. I'm meet you there lol.

[@SeniorHiker77]

@JasonOutdoors I'll keep you posted. Kevin said it wasn't hard. 12 miles, but they did it over 3 days.

[@atypicalhiker]

It stays cool up there at 5000 ft elevation.

[@IceBearHalfwayPoint]

Beautiful!! That tree is awesome. It looks like you were out in a heck of a storm there! Miss you. 👊

[@atypicalhiker]

It was a good hike and I would go back. Hope you are well. Since Hollywood shut down I am out of a job for now and havent been up your way.

[@JenniferLupine]

Nice hike!! I've never hiked at the Grayson highlands... I'm assuming this is the area where hikers go to see the ponies? They sure are pretty! You've also given us a great reminder to always bring your rain gear- whew, the rain seems like it came out of no where!! Like 👍👍 I watched your other video of your - thoughts for the day... I'm sorry that you and others feel unseen, and I totally agree we need to come together as a people and not let anything divide us. :) We see you and appreciate you!! Take care my friend and Happy Trails! - Jennifer 😃

[@FOLLOWINGWALKERSWORLD]

Did that trail 2 years ago with crow & loved it. 👍

[@atypicalhiker]

I would go do it again.

[@MetroOnTheMove]

Beautiful area my friend! When did you go and hike this area? Senior told me that you might be heading back soon.

[@atypicalhiker]

I went after my jet skis were stolen to try and get over losing so much money. It was mid-July, I think.

[@Backpacksandtrails]

Someday we'll get up there. ❤

[@atypicalhiker]

It is worth the trip.
