We joined some hiking friends to try out the newest hike in the Roanoke Valley. This trail just opened last month. It starts at Virginia Tech's Sustainability center in Catawba and traces the old road, VA 311, before joining the fire road that leads to McAfee's Knob. Instead of heading north to McAfee's Knob, we turned south along the Appalachian Trail and then looped back to our starting point! A nice trail to stretch you legs on! Catch you later!...~Storyhiker
