Tinker Cliffs


After laying around at McAfee we continued on - as we had heard that the actual better view was from Tinker Cliffs - just 5-6 miles father. (Folklore says the name came from Revolutionary War deserters who hid up here and repaired pots and pans - "tinkers") I have to agree - thought the view was better. Basically a 1/2 mile walk all along the cliff face - straight down. In fact - there are two trails - one out on the cliff, and one twenty yards in - for those that didn't want to be that close to the edge. The one on the edge had the white blaze - so that's where I was. Honestly - these last two days were probably the best. Beautiful sun and views. Keeps putting perspective on why I'm doing this. This would be an easy day hike for any of you to make - parking is fairly close - and with light weight day packs - you could easily spend an afternoon up here - no agenda - just "be". LOVE IT! come join me.
