Dragons Tooth is a spectacular rock formation located on top of Cove Mountain. The 2.3 mile trail leading to Dragons Tooth is a gradual uphill climb for the first mile or so. Then it joins the Appalachian Trail and begins to climb steeply. This part of the hike is fairly strenuous, with some rock scrambling near the top. You'll need your hands and feet to climb the last rocky sections to reach "The Tooth", a 35' rock spire. At the top, you'll be rewarded with a jumble of rugged rock outcroppings and panoramic views. Allow plenty of time and daylight to do this challenging hike. Many hikers will take six hours or more to complete the hike.

McAfee Knob
Catawba Valley Dr Rt 311
Catawba, VA 24070
McAfee Knob is one of the most photographed spots on the Appalachian Trail (A.T.) as it winds
its way through Virginia. The Knob has an almost 270 degree panorama of the Catawba Valley
and North Mountain to the West, Tinker Cliffs to the North and the Roanoke Valley to the East.
It is a steady climb of around 1700' in about 4.4 miles to the Knob from the VA311 parking area.
On a clear day you will have some of the best views in the Southern Shenandoah Valley. Due to
its popularity you will not be alone on this hike, but the overhang of McAfee Knob and its views make up for the lack of solitude.
