- Tinker Cliffs Hike | Virginia's Triple Crown Loop Hike | Andy Layne Trail/Appalachian Trail
My daughter and I hiked our second hike of Virginia's triple crown loop hike, to Tinker Cliffs. We did this hike in March, 2020. This 7 mile hike was a great time with some amazing views at the top!

@@AliciaLynnYT you're welcome! We really enjoy making outdoor videos also
Enjoying my second cup of coffee and your hike Alicia! Full watch, big like!
Hi Vara! Thank you my friend💛
What a gorgeous place! Thanks for sharing :)
It was a nice day and a beautiful hike! Thanks for watching Susan, I hope you have a great weekend!💛🌞
Hi, Alicia! That hike looks like it was so much fun!
I love the early spring: I saw daffodils, redbuds, and what I think was a white dogwood. So beautiful!
The bridges were very whimsical, like something out of a fairy tale.
I am not a fan of stairs, either.
Wow, you got some good shots of those cliffs. Even though I am safely at home, my heart jumped a bit as you got closer--good video skills!
So much fun! Thanks for sharing!
Hi Parnell! This was a great hike. Yes, you did see dogwood, there are a lot around here, it is the state flower! I liked those bridges, whimsical is a good word for them! The cliffs were a little scary but the views were great up there! Thanks for watching my friend, I hope your weekend is going well!
@@AliciaLynnYT I knew I saw dogwoods! They are very rare here in #Chiberia, haha. Yes, whimsical is a good word, I agree.
No problem! Thanks for sharing such great views
@@ParnellTheChef I love your name for Chicago! At least the weather is warm this time of year. My daughter did her boot camp in Great lakes, IL and had her graduation ceremony last Thursday, the weather looked beautiful! 🌞
Hiking is very enjoyable, thank you
Thanks so much for watching!
Hi sis wow this was so beautiful love the water ... the views are so amazing.... awww ur with ur mamas ... thanks for sharing have a bless day sis prayers and peace hugs 🤗 💛 💖
Hi sis, it was a beautiful hike and I was happy I got to do it with my daughter! Thanks as always for watching! Prayers and hugs to you💛🙏💙
Wow, beautiful place
It was so nice!
Beautiful hike but too intense for me. I'd have to work my way up to that. LOL Those steps were crazy! We went to the Blue Ridge Mountains up north in Virginia just to see the view one Fall day several years ago when my kids were little. I've always wanted to go back and hike some of it, but haven't made it back yet.
Those views from the top are breathtaking! My fear of heights would not be a fan of those cliffs, though. LOL This looks like such a memorable day with your daughter.
Hi Tina, it was a little bit of a work out! lol I love hiking in the Fall, it is my favorite time to go. I hope you make it back and get to hike the Blue Ridge mountains one day! This was a great day with my daughter, I'm glad we got to do this before she left. Thanks for watching💕
Beautiful views 😍.
Thanks, it was pretty!
That top view looks amazing. I felt the same way when I was looking for Camel Rock. Glad you made it to the top!!!! You do a great job with your narration. Trying to do that more in our videos.
I felt less alone in not being able to find what I'm looking for when you weren't able to find Camel rock. Lol I always feel like I'm the only one! The views were great up there and thanks on the narration! I think you do a great job with your videos in how you edit and narrate!
AliciaLynn Thanks. Just trying to experiment different things in each video. Something I want to do is have inner dad thoughts during a trip, but haven’t been able to pull it off yet. Want to give more of a human element to the vlogs. Similar to Everybody Hates Chris.
@@SantosChronicles I hear you and I like the inner dad thoughts thing! I think the more human element in a vlog the better. Its hard to do though at times!
Hi, Alicia! Another beautiful hike! Wow! That was stunning. Definitely worth the stairs! That is so cool you and your daughter doing these hikes together.
Wonderful share sweet friend. Happy Thursday. Hugs and blessings to you. Have a beautiful day sweetie. 🥰❤️❤️🌻🌻🌻
Hi Michelle! It was a nice hike and the views made it worth those stairs! Lol I was glad to be able to do these hikes with my daughter before she left. We made some good memories! Thanks for watching and have a beautiful weekend sweet friend!💛🌞💖🤗
What a fun hike! Yes, that's quite a drop off!amazing that there were so many flies there. looks like a beautiful day with your daughter. Thank you so much for sharing. 💕
It was a great day! I don't know what was up with those flies though! Lol Thanks for watching, Vicki! 💕
Great Hike 💜
Thanks Sandra!💛
Aside from my beautiful nugget, the amount of insects buzzing around you two at the beginning is hilarious 😂
I know, they were everywhere! 😂😂
AliciaLynn yeah they were really swarming you guys 😂
@@Zimzilla99 I knew they were bad but watching the footage really showed how bad!😂😂
Finally get to see how it looks from up there. I was born in Roanoke, Virginia and have never been on Tinker Cliffs. Been on McAfee's Knob a couple of times. I have a picture of myself and some others on the rocks of McAfee Knob in 1957. Also have a picture someone took of the mountains from Roanoke ( called Big Lick then) and McAfee's Knob is right in the middle. Picture is dated 1873. One can see Tinker Cliffs from several parts of Roanoke City. Good luck.
Hi Bob, it was a nice hike! We have been in the Roanoke area since 2017 and I love it here. I was born and lived in Washington state before the move here. I wanted to do all three of the triple crown loop hikes with my daughter before she left for the Navy and was happy we got it done. McAfee's Knob was by far our favorite of the 3. It is a beautiful view from up there as you know since you have done it yourself. That is neat you have a picture from 1873 of the mountains! Thanks for watching!
@@AliciaLynnYT Thanks. Glad you are here and enjoyed those hikes. I was born at Roanoke Memorial and I continue to live here. My mother was born not far from Tinker Cliffs. I'm off to drive a school bus. I'll link that picture later. You may enjoy seeing McAfee knob in 1873. It looks just as it does now:)
@@boblackey1 Roanoke is a great place!
You driving a school bus is much appreciated, by the way. We have had so many days where routes were cancelled in our county due to lack of drivers. There were 4 routes cancelled today. Thank you to you and every other school bus driver that shows up!
@@AliciaLynnYT Thank you. I drive for Roanoke County. Yes driver shortage everywhere. I've linked that 1873 picture here for you twice but it isn't here again. :( Must violate some rule. A James McAfee of Scotland gained control of the land the mountain is on in the 1730's and the Indian name was replaced by Mr. McAfee's name. But the ridge continues to have the Indian name, Catawba.
@@boblackey1 Hi, Bob. I forgot that CZcams doesn't let you link pictures. Thanks for trying though and if you get a chance you can email it to me alicialynnyt@gmail.com I love history, and seeing pictures like that! No worries if you don't want to though. Thanks again for watching and have a great weekend!
Hi Alicia this was wonderful! I love walking & hiking would be an extra treat! I'm surprised there was flies up there in the wind! Thank you so much ladies for sharing! Xx Karen
Hi Karen, I was really surprised the flies were out in that wind! It was a beautiful day for a hike! Thanks for watching💕
You get beautiful footage with that GoPro. The flies at the beginning would have ended the adventure for me! Haha I am such a baby when it comes to bugs. And those stairs! Great job, you two. And that view is gorgeous! Thanks for sharing😊
Thank you Amy, I really like that GoPro! The flies were so crazy! Luckily they weren't like that the whole time or I wouldn't have made it! Thanks as always for watching and have a wonderful weekend!💛🌞
3 hikes is definitely the way to go. 35 miles? I would have to take a tent (and probably An ambulance) with me 😂
You and me both😂 I don't think I would survive a 35 mile hike!
That's a lot of flies! Always love seeing you girls together and this trail is gorgeous. We're getting ready for a very long hike and just hope to survive. Hahaha 😂 Those stairs, yikes! But I can see that the views are totally worth the hike up.
Haha it was a ton of flies! Lol I hope you guys are going to film your hike, I'd love to see it! The stairs about did me in😂Thanks for watching!
There's a 40 mile trail where I live in Pennsylvania that I really want to do, but I'm like y'all...not sure if I can do it haha. Might try it this fall though. This looks like a nice hike. The views are great.
40 miles is a lot, I definitely wouldn't be able to to that one! Fall would be a great time to try it though since the weather will be cooler. Fall hiking is my favorite because of that. Thanks for watching, Lincoln!
I don’t blame you splitting it up to 3 different hikes. 35 miles would be crazy. I think 10 miles my longest. Stairs are our enemy. I use the GoPro for our videos. Since it is wide angle, it generally has me in all the shots. Rumor that the next version will have a front camera also so you can frame yourself.
35 miles is definitely more than I want to do at one time! 10 is probably about tops for me too. I never know if I have myself in the shot or not when I use the GoPro 😄 I don't use it enough to be able to tell. That is cool the next version is going to have a front camera, I might have to upgrade!
Wow the view from the top is so beautiful! I love the biking you guys do, we don’t really have anything like that in FL 😕
It was pretty up there! You have beaches in FL though!
Nice video alicia
Thanks! 😊
Oh i miss hiking so much :(
Hiking is the best! Thanks for watching Hayley💛

7 miles is probably my limit for one day lol
I’ve done 11 miles while backpacking bc we wanted to finish our trip & get to a hotel that bad lol and we were DEAD
Yeah, I don't do a lot more than 7 miles, 11 is a lot, I would have been dead too! Thanks for watching, Vanessa!
Heck of a beautiful terrain. Left you a message on FB messenger about a collaboration. Let me know. Great shots in this video. Looks absolutely beautiful.
It was a beautiful hike! And I will go check FB messenger, thanks Kory!
Did you happen to see any place that could be a campsite? I just want to put a tent there for 1 night
Hi Sarah, it is my understanding that camping is prohibited on any of the triple crown loop, including Tinker, other than at the designated shelter sites. I saw several of those sites on the loop though!
Where are you from? I say Appalachian trail different.
We are from the western side of the country, so no, I'm not from around here Lol I realize here in the south, people pronounce it differently. “Ap-uh-latch-un” is what I mostly hear is the correct way. I grew up back west hearing it and pronouncing it the way I say it, which is why I still pronounce it that way. It probably makes people here cringe to hear me say it that way...the same way it makes me cringe to hear how they pronounce the names of many things in the west where I am from. Spokane being a big one for me. It is interesting to realize just how differently people from different parts of the country, pronounce things.
It’s funny because I was saying McAfee Knob like you and was corrected by someone and I’m from Tennessee. I told my son I was just going to keep saying it that way.lol
I have asked several local people how to pronounce McAfee Knob correctly and I still can't seem to say it right even though I try! I've given up Lol All I know is McAfee Knob is a beautiful hike and view up there. Definitely my favorite hike I've done here so far!
