Find kid-friendly adventure with wild ponies and family hikes

Grayson Highlands

If you’re looking for a unique weekend camping spot, consider Grayson Highlands State Park, just north of the Virginia-North Carolina border in Mouth of Wilson, Virginia. Known for its scenic mountain peaks, kid-friendly trails and wild ponies, this 4,822-acre park is near Mount Rogers — Virginia’s highest peak — and offers a variety of outdoor activities for all ages, making it a must-visit destination for families.

Wild Ponies 

No trip to Grayson Highlands is complete without seeing its wild ponies. The U.S. Forest Service released the herd, which numbers about 150, into the area in 1975 to control brush growth in the area’s balds, a once heavily forested region that was cleared with extensive logging during the late 19th century.

A Cool Girl's Bedroom

WHEN DESIGNER JACY PAINTER KELLY, owner of Jacy Painter Kelly Interiors, took her family to New York City last summer, her 10-year-old daughter Lucy went crazy for the cool urban vibe of their downtown hotel room. It gave Lucy the itch to makeover her own bedroom in their Fort Mill home. She wanted more mature accents like silver wall sconces and velvet pillows, paired with punk rock elements like a graffiti-inspired bed frame and pink neon sign. Luckily her designer mom knew exactly how to tie it all together.
