The Dragon’s Tooth

Our family has two go-to hikes in Blacksburg: the Cascades and, my personal favorite, Dragon’s Tooth. Even though my stomach lurches when I watch our kids crawl around on a jagged rock that juts over the edge of a mountain, the crag is impressive and I can’t keep away from it.

Plus, it reminds me of funny conversations about animals farting in the woods.

Trying to post a photo each weekday in November. I think I’ve succeeded so far. I’ve lost count. What day is it? Who’s the president? What’s my name? Here’s my entry for Photography 101: Landmark.

  1. I hang my head in shame, being a Native Virginian. I’d never heard of ‘Dragon’s tooth, before now. We used to go to Humpback Rock on the Blue Ridge Parkway when I was a child. I can see where you might worry about the kiddies play on that beautiful rock.
