Trail Overview[edit]
Located in Grayson Highlands State Park. Favorite location to see the wild ponies or pick huckleberries in August-early September.

Driving direction are given on the Grayson Highlands State Park page. Park in Massie Gap lot. Trailhead gate is seen across the open field.
Route Description[edit]
Cross the open field to reach the trailhead at the horse gate. The blue-blazed Rhododendron Trail heads uphill along a curved path. The gravel road at 0.8 mile is the Virginia Highlands horse trail. The trail ends are rough 1 mile upon reaching the white-blazed Appalachian Trail.
Typical Conditions[edit]
Heavily used and worn trail. Has been relocated over the years to reduce the rate of ascent. Can be very busy during nice weekends when the berries are in season.
