Today's attraction is the wild ponies in Grayson Highlands. So many ponies! This was an amazing hike. I could do this hike again and again. Seeing all of the ponies was so fun. They like salt, so will try to lick/nibble on gear/people. We had to have someone watching our gear all the time, because the ponies kept wandering into our campsite. I think Glen missed all of this section, so we will be back to hike this together.
