Sightseeing
If you hike, this is a challenging moderate hike with an outstanding view. The most photographed overlook on the Appalachian Trail. This is one of the hikes that you need to undertake to achieve the Triple Crown.
The Virginia Triple Crown is comprised of what many consider to be the state’s three best hiking destinations: McAfee Knob, Tinker Cliffs and Dragon’s Tooth. All are conveniently located within a few miles of each other just outside of Roanoke.

If you are looking for something different to do, Floyd is an artsy little town with fun shops including the Floyd Country Store which is fun to browse, but also famous for their live blue grass performances. They also have a little sandwich shop in the store.
