Countless wonders decorate the Appalachian Trail. Along the 2,190 miles of path, incredible spots like Clingmans Dome and The Pinnacle invite hikers to marvel at nature’s beauty. Visitors might even see some adorable animals roaming the trail. While all of these Appalachian attractions are worth seeing, not everyone can dedicate the time needed to tackle an over 2,000-mile hike. Some people are simply looking for a quality day hike. If you’re one of those people, you’ll want to make a trip to Virginia’s McAfee Knob.
According to Roanoke Outside, McAfee Knob is the Appalachian Trail’s “most photographed site.” Hikers who want to snap their own photo of this glorious destination will need to prepare for a roughly four-hour adventure.
