We've been told by many that McAfees Knob is the most photographed place on the entire AT mainly becuase of the cliffs that jut out over the valley below with a vertical drop underneath. It is located just north of Catawba Virginia and is frequented by many dayhikers, but luckily it wasn't crowded at all when we were there early on a sunday morning. We passed Tinker Cliffs the same day as McAffes Knob and they were equally amazing. Tinker Cliffs are a little more remote and afford slightly better views, but lack the picturesque rocks of McAfees so its hard to pick a favorite.
The trail followed along the edge of Tinker Cliffs providing breathtaking views along this quarter mile long stretch
Hey guys - just checked out the pictures from the trail, brings back memories of my days in the Alps & Pyrenees. You're probably getting ready for your year in S.Korea - perhaps you're already there - regardless: love & cheers - ye ol' Bart
