Itinerary description
The view from Tinker Cliffs is a vista that is the definition of the Appalachian Mountains in Virginia. Long ridges that snake back on itself to create the most perfect layering. However, the vista isn’t the only definition of the hike. The switchbacks up the steep mountainside also provide for a perfect view of the gauly and the open forest. Lastly, Catawba Creek and the rock wall formations along it are worth an exploration. All this and how easy it is to find your very own ledge to sit on is the reason this is my 3rd favorite hike in the region and a definition hike of the Virginia Appalachian Mountains.
