WORTH THE HIKE!

dragons tooth is off a path that is part of the Appalachian Trail, there is a good amount of parking with a bathroom and garbage, once you begin the trail there are a few dispersed obvious camping spots, these are the only camping spots that are easy to walk to the rest of the hike is moderate, but to get to the top of dragons tooth becomes a strenuous hike once you get to the big rock, it appears to look like a scary incline from the base but the arrows on the rocks (there’s a lot of painted white arrows) show you where to step up and continue on the trail. My fiancé and I have done lots of miles on the AT and this is a pretty rough spot to climb with a bigger backpack so pack light. Once you get to the top of the rock the view is incredible there are a few maybe four or five good camping spots likely you’ll be up there alone, but the Appalachian Trail does pass through. Technically this exact spot is not on the trail as it is like a path off of it but the hike to get to it is on the AT, The arrows and the trail are very clear, it’s a moderate to hard hike! Bring lots of water! No need to pack a life straw of any kind because there’s not really water around except right in the beginning of the trail from the parking lot. We are both young and fit, with our big backpacks on it probably took us about two hours to make it to the tip of dragons tooth. Even if you just going there for an easy walk the beginning is really nice along the river. Beautiful spot to place a tent at the top just past the main “tooth” rock. You’ll see a giant fire pit, We actually lugged up a Bag of firewood to have a fire, There’s not many sticks. But there’s Lots of trees so don’t forget a Hammock!! And again 10000% worth the view
