“Warm Up Hike”

I am behind in my posting. I was on the trail for three days last week and then a a stomach bug, probably Norovirus for three days. Trying to get back in the swing

4/21/2025 Decided to do warm up hike in and around the Dragon Tooth area near Catawba VA.. Turned out to be a bit more strenuous and technical than I had expected. But then again, I really did not do much planning, other than I has been here before and thought I remembered my way around. I did not summit to Dragon’s Tooth but made a loop of the AT and Dragons tooth trail.

The stats: 5.05 miles, 1171 ft elevation, 3:42 for a average speed of 1.5 – elevation chart and photos below. The views at Raawies Rest were spectacular
