Wild Horses of Corolla Tour in Corolla, North Carolina
We took a 4 wheel drive adventure trip to see the wild horses. These horses are the descendants of Spanish Mustangs which survived early shipwrecks. Historical research records the horses here as early as 1523. Route 12 runs the stretch of the Outer Banks from the south (Ocracoke) to North (Corolla). The paved road portion of route 12 ends and the unpaved portion begins onto the beach in Corolla. Anyone planning to take a trip to the Outer Banks should make this part of their plans. It was spectacular! You will also see that vacationers will drive their vehicles (should be 4 wheel drive) on to the beach and set-up for the day to enjoy the area.
