This weekend we went to Tinkers Cliff. The trail starts from a parking lot off Catawba Rd. (VA-799), close to the intersection of Little Catawba Creek Rd. and Catawba Rd.
Time stamps:
Photo which shows the yellow mark on the tree (almost at the start of the hike): 11:16am
Photo with the no trespassing sign: 12:10pm
Photo with wooden signs on the tree: 1:08pm
Photo showing the rocks at the top: 1:35pm
From the parking lot the trail is marked with the yellow signs on the trees.
At the beginning of the trail there are two wooden bridges and a small stretch next to a stream.
For most part the trail is shaded with lots of trees.
You will arrive at a No Trespassing sign. Right next to the sign, on a tree, there is a posted sign which points in the direction of the trail. This basically tells you to ignore the sign and go ahead in the direction which otherwise you would think the sign is warning you not to go. Just remember, follow the yellow signs.
After some nice upward climbs you will see wooden signs on a tree pointing you in the direction of Tinkers cliff. After this point you have to follow the white marks on the tree (for the AT).
From this point the Tinkers Cliff overlook is 0.5 miles. At the overlook there are numerous rocks from which you can select the one most comfortable for yourself and, sit, relax and enjoy the view.
