Grayson County, Virginia

Grayson County sits high in Virginia’s Blue Ridge Highlands. It’s home to Mount Rogers, the state’s highest peak. The New River cuts through.
Grayson Highlands State Park is famous for its wild ponies and stunning mountain views. Independence is the county seat. Yep, that’s its name.
It’s one of the top producers of Christmas trees in Virginia. Despite its natural beauty, Grayson County remains largely undiscovered by tourists. It’s where Appalachian culture is still very much alive. The scenery here will take your breath away, no matter the season.
