My Favorite Places of Interest!
If you're coming to Roanoke it's probably because you want to get outdoors! Well that is one thing I love about living here, so let me give you my favorite places to go.
Yes, it's gorgeous but the hike is easy and pack a picnic because you're going to want to hang out when you get to the top. Mcafee's knob is the most photographed section of the Appalachian trail and when you get there, you will see why!

If you want to see a place that will stay in your memories forever, then this is the place to go. Small 1 mile or so hike but George Washington used to own this bridge and the Civil war soldiers went out of their way just to see this natural wonder. There is also a museum and caves. There is an authentic Indian village on the weekends. My friends and family love this place.
