McAfees Knob/Tinker Cliffs - Best Cliffs




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
