Nice Visitor Center with Picnic Area, Rocking Chairs, Souvenir Shop and small Exhibit about farm life of the past.

Sugarland Overlook is an observation point over the Appalachian Mountains. It's an easy pull-off, but watch out not to miss it. In the fall, this is a great overlook to see all the different colors the trees turn before they fall.

Hickory Ridge Campground has tent sites, RV sites, and a few yurts for rent as well! Be aware that while camping here, you might have some horse visitors to your camp as wild ponies roam the area.

Grayson Highland Visitor Center has ample parking and is a great spot to stop on a ride around the park. This park is famous for its stunning landscapes, woods, featuring open, grassy open areas, panoramic views, and the local wild ponies. These ponies are known as the Grayson Highlands ponies, and there is no better place to learn more than at the Grayson Highland Visitor Center.

Little Dry Run Wilderness provides a glimpse into this historical Virginia landscape. While Hemlock trees in the George Washington National Forest and certain areas of the Jefferson are gradually succumbing to the Wooly Adelgid, those within the sheltered drainage of Little Dry Run are quite healthy. The trails in the Little Dry Run Wilderness are maintained through the volunteer efforts of the Southern Appalachian Wilderness Stewards (SAWS).

Whitetop has a great parking area where riders can park for the Virginia Creeper Trail or for a road ride around this lovely green area. Whitetop is the gateway town to Mount Rogers has a slightly cooler year-round compared to the surrounding areas due to the higher elevations.

At this spot, cross over the Virginia Creeper Trail, a 35-mile multi-purpose rail trail gravel ride going from Abingdon to Whitetop, Virginia, near Mount Rogers National Recreation Area and the North Carolina state line. This area is popular with bikers, and you might see a lot of hikers around here too, as the Appalachian Trail is close by.

Whitetop Post Office is a little ways outside of the town of Whitetop. There is not much else out here, pretty much just green space. This post office seems out of place, but if you have been meaning to send a letter, now could be the time!
