Tinker Cliffs
DALEVILLE

Tinker Cliffs is another segment of the
Appalachian Trail, accessed by the Andy
Layne Trail from Route 779. It's not an easy
hike, as those who give it a go will hike over
7.5 miles and experience nearly 2,000 feet
of elevation change. For a unique challenge,
hikers can also take on the Triple Crown,
which includes making the trek to McAfee
Knob, Dragon's Tooth, and Tinker Cliffs.

HAY ROCK OVERLOOK TRAIL
Daleville
One of our favorite views is of fall foliage surrounding
Carvins Cove. Experience the view of the water yourself
from Hay Rock Overlook Trail / Appalachian Trail. Considered
moderately difficult, this trail is 8.5 miles round trip from
Routes 220 and 816.

Mill Mountain
ROANOKE

Have you ever heard of the Roanoke Star? You'll find that
beautiful beacon on Mill Mountain, overlooking Roanoke.
The trails are easy and include overlooks that you'll surely
spend time oogling from. Or selfie-ing. We don't blame
you; the views from there are iconic.

READ MOUNTAIN
Bonsack
Head to Read Mountain and hike the Read Mountain Trail. It's
a short little route of five miles, but it is considered to be
moderately difficult. Take the two-mile spur up to Buzzards
Rock for a different, more expansive vantage point.

You'll find

lots of Growlers
along this

mountain trail

No, not bears or mountain lions. This trail is the
