On
our
way
to
the
park,
we
saw
a
black
bear
(not
a
full
grown
one)
walking
on
the
roadside
during
the
drive.
It
ran
into
the
woods
with
the
sound
of
the
car.
We
went
to
the
park
around
10.30
in
the
morning
and
started
at
the
Massie
gap
parking
lot.
The
fall
colors
were
starting
to
pop
up.
We
took
the
Rhododendron
trail
from
the
Massie
gap
parking
and
then
followed
the
Appalachian
trail
and
the
Wilburn
ridge
trail.
We
did
not
see
any
ponies
on
our
way
until
we
passed
the
end
of
Rhododendron
trail
onto
the
Wilburn
ridge
trail.
We
saw
like
6
ponies
in
the
Wilburn
ridge
trail.
The
Wilburn
ridge
trail
is
a
little
hard
trail
with
lot
of
rocks
that
requires
a
lot
of
climbing.
But
the
views
from
the
rock
tops
were
breathtaking.
On
our
way
back,
we
took
the
Appalachian
trail
and
saw
like
12-15
ponies
again
in
the
Wilburn
ridge.
They
were
very
beautiful
and
were
so
used
to
people.
We
also
did
the
Cabin
creek
trail
to
see
the
water
fall.
It
was
not
a
very
big
waterfall
but
the
1.8
mile
hike
(around)
was
very
calming
with
a
lot
of
trees
and
cover.
