Hiking McAfee Knob in Roanoke, VA
McAfee Knob Hike 4/17/2022
On Sunday April 17, 2022, Kim and I hiked McAfee Knob in Roanoke. We spent the weekend in Roanoke and had two good bike rides on Friday and Saturday. On Sunday April 17, 2022, Kim and I decided to take a day off from the bike and hike McAfee Knob in Roanoke.
McAfee Knob is one of the most photographed spots on the Appalachian Trail and is visited by hikers from around the world. McAfee Knob has an elevation of 3,197 feet and is located on Catawba mountain and is named for a Scotch-Irish 18th-century settler.
The peak offers 270° panoramic views of the surrounding valley and mountains. The stunning views have led to McAfee Knob being recognized by USA Today Travel as one of the most spectacular hikes in the United States.
It is about 4 miles to the peak. There are two options. You can take the fire road or follow the trail. We hiked the fire road because we did not realize there was a hiking trail to take.
It is a steady climb of 1,700 feet that is moderately difficult, and you should give yourself at least 4 to 6 hours to make the trip.
McAfee Knob is an extremely popular hike and becomes especially crowded on weekends, with limited parking availability. If possible, consider hiking the trail during the week to avoid larger crowds.
Kim and I had a wonderful time and recommend the hiking McAfee Knob. The view from the summit is spectacular and well worth the effort.
