Dragon's Tooth has been on my list to hike ever since moving to Roanoke. I finally got to it when my good friend, Chris, called me up. He was taking his 5-yr old son for a backpacking trip and asked me to come along. We tackled about 2 miles the first day and set up camp. We were up early in the morning to tackle the more technical summit (technical for a hiking trip, at least). The view from the top is breath taking.
