Grayson Highlands State Park, Virginia





"Grayson Highlands State Park, Mouth of Wilson, Virginia". We took a quick trip on the hubby's days off ... Sunday June 14th - Monday June 15th. This was our 2nd time camping at this state park. They have awesome hiking.


We took the "Virginia Creeper Trail" which was a 1st for us. Please check out a vlog from the bicycling trip above there, lots of pull-offs to take in & enjoy the views. Contemplate Life, Major Decisions, just Veg??! Have you been? Loved it, can't wait to do it again. Beth ( :

Beth, did you put that water video in just for me....you know I love the sound of the rushing water. Interesting name for a railroad - Virginia creeper, but I'll be it was slow going up those mountains.

A number of railroad beds here have been turned into hiking and biking trails too... it's a good use of the land.

In regards to your comment at my blog, the header image is from a couple of years back. The first fall colours are starting to show now.

( : Where do we even start?, I continued to say to my hubby throughout our trip to Washington, Oregon, northern CA back in August 2015, that I wondered how I could take a picture of the whole tall tree? The trees in in the eastern US are huge, but the trees out west are gigantic, massive, huge!! There are .... THEY ARE! ...how do I even begin to show a picture of these awesome trees?
