Saw the docile ponies twice at Massie Gap. Walk up rhododendron trail to the AT. Beautiful views ups there! Then lucked out and saw more ponies later in the day when I went to the parking lot to use the toilet I spotted ponies right at the start of the trail! The Twin Pinnacles Trail, at the Visitors Center, was great. Pretty easy with one particularly great view. I went the first week of October and was suprised to see the massive parking lots 95percent empty! Fall foliage! It boggles the mind that there isnt an outdoors bathroom at the Visitors Center. The parking lots there had to hold hundreds and hundreds of cars. There was a sign at the visitor center saying the bathroom was out of order and directed you to drive to a couple other places with vault toilets! I walked a little bit of listening Rock Trail which is at the overlook by The visitor Center. You access it by the rock steps on a big boulder that's to the right of the overlook. Beautiful trail but rocky with ups and downs.

Trails are easy to find and are marked very well. Park rangers are very knowledgeable and very friendly. Very dog friendly area. The little museum is very neat and interesting. There is a cabin close to the camp grounds which is very pretty area to go and see. Look out is very beautiful. The whole area is very beautiful. Very nice to see the ponies. Can't say enough about the area. Just very peaceful and beautiful. Plan on bringing a packed lunch, drinks, and snacks. Very remote area.
