My daughter and I took the moderate/strenuous Appalachian Trail route to McAfees Knob, then took the easy/moderate Fire Road trail back. Even taking the 2 separate trails, it was still 8 miles round.... more »

A beautiful hike to the ledge! Moderate climb upgrade. Downhill on the way back. Awesome view once you've there.
