[at-l] Can You Recommend the Most Beautiful Walk?

McAfee's Knob is about a 3 mile hike from the parking lot/road (Rt.311).
Dragon's Tooth is about the same.  Either of these would be better to
hike on a weekday, as they're both very popular day hikes.  Another,
usually less populated option would be going to the Daleville parking
area and hiking up the backside of Tinker.  Nice ridge walking, and you
get good views of Carvin's Cove.

I can't remember how far Tinker Cliffs and McAfee Knob are from road
crossings, but isn't the hike from the parking lot to Dragons Tooth just
a few miles?  That's a nice spot, too.
   
  Take Care,
