Located a short drive from downtown Roanoke, Dragon’s Tooth sits high atop Cove Mountain along the Appalachian Trail and is one of the best hikes in Virginia’s Blue Ridge.
Conquer the final bouldering towards the end of the challenging 2.3 mile climb to the top and you’re rewarded with a stunning view of the surrounding mountains. As you take in the views, you’ll find yourself standing at the base of “The Tooth” – a 35-foot rock spire that’s part of a large jumble of rock outcroppings at the summit.
