The walk to the top of Mt Rogers from Massie Gap in Grayson Highlands State Park is a relatively short one at just 4 miles. Most of the route is on the Appalachian Trail. The semi-wild ponies are kept in the area to maintain the open meadows. They look very well fed. I met a number of folks on this hike and walked with one fellow for most of it. The top of Rogers is wooded and there are no views. There are two rocks, about 100 feet apart and both have US Geodesic benchmarks. I don't know which is higher than the other so there are competing high points in Virginia as far as I'm concerned.
