Dragons Tooth Trail, Craig County Virginia Hiking Trails

The Dragon's Tooth is a unique geologic feature located atop Cove Mountain on the Craig/Roanoke County line. Dragon's Tooth consists of spires of Tuscarora quartzite which outcrop on the top of Cove Mountain. The tallest "tooth" projects roughly 35 feet above the surrounding rock. The trail to Dragon's Tooth ascends steep, rugged outcrops of quartzite which form the spine of Cove Mountain and North Mountain. The spine is known as Dragon's Back. A difficult hike, Dragon's Tooth summit offers magnificent views of nearby and distant peaks year-round.

Trail Beginning: Ample parking. Trail ascends gradually and crosses creek before reaching large hiker signboard.

Trail Ending: Same as beginning unless alternate route of return is taken north on Appalachian Trail and Connector (Boy Scout) Trail.

Directions:

From I-81, Exit 141, take VA 311 north for 10 miles to Dragons Tooth Parking Lot--sign on left, just past Catawba Grocery (also on left).
