Dragon's Tooth Trail

01/13/21

One should not take the rating ‘difficult’ lightly. Don’t underestimate this trail. It’s very rocky the entire way through. We passed over a lot of creeks that we had to hop from rock to rock and very steep inclines with a lot of rock scrambles. The paths are very narrow so you have to be extra precautious. It is also very icy around this time and I would not recommend going on this trail without proper hiking shoes or you will slip a lot. Sadly, I would not recommend bringing your dog unless they are very used to hiking. One of my dogs got too scared to come down the narrow mountain and had to be rescued by another group of more apt hikers. There was gorgeous scenery of the Roanoke valleys and snow capped mountains but it was an intense hike that I don’t recommend for someone who hikes occasionally for fun.
