Grayson Highlands State Park

Prepare for a wide range of activities with scenic views of alpine-like peaks. Mountains here reach up to 5,000 feet high or more, including the highest point in Virginia. Rock climbing without ropes is big in this park.

Climb a rock or several, at seven boulder fields. Climbers have mapped out 700 different problems. You must be at the peak of your game because bringing your own ropes is not allowed.

Hum a new tune at the Wayne C. Henderson Music Festival and Guitar Competition in June. Bluegrass and local music reign in this region. Take in the Grayson Highlands Fall Festival with more live music and artists.

Hike the 13 trails in the park. They range from 1/2 mile to 3 miles in length. Challenge yourself with a trek up Mount Rogers and Whitetop Mountain, the two highest peaks in Virginia. Keep an eye out for the wild ponies that roam freely in the park.

Choose from 41 electric sites, 28 standard sites, and four yurts for camping options.
