National Trails Day Hike

Location of Grayson Highlands State Park in Virginia

Where

Grayson Highlands State Park, 829 Grayson Highland Ln., Mouth of Wilson, VA 24363.
Visitor Center

When

June 7, 2025. 10:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m.

Have you ever seen a tree grow out of a rock? That's what it looks like anyway. Join a ranger on a moderate hike to see the Magic Tree and learn about what the land used to be, and how the tree came to be sitting on top of a rock. Continue to Little Pinnacle and Big Pinnacle, the highest point in the park, and enjoy the long-range views and learn more about the ecology and history of Grayson Highlands. This hike will include the two best views in Virginia.

Be prepared by bringing some water and wearing closed-toe shoes.
