This fall, we encourage you to accept the #7Peaks7Weeks challenge and climb seven peaks in just seven weeks! Roanoke 7 Summits is an annual hiking tradition presented by Roanoke Parks and Recreation. Join us for all seven, or simply come along for your favorite hikes. Guided hikes take place on Thursdays and Saturdays. You’ll get a chance to explore local trails, experience Roanoke’s stunning fall foliage, and make new friends while challenging yourself!
Throughout the challenge, you will receive an email with more information about the upcoming hike and how to prepare. At the end of the seven weeks, we’ll meet for the Roanoke 7 Summits celebration on November 15th.
Registration:
For $25.00, you will receive a Roanoke 7 Summits hat, access to amazing sponsor giveaways, weekly emails with trail information and tips, and an invite to the 7 Summits Celebration!

Outstanding views, a tough climb, a cool creek cliff face and Scorched Earth Gap are just a few reasons to hike Tinker Cliffs via the Andy Layne Trail. Tinker Cliffs is the third leg in the Triple Crown of great views/hikes in this part of Virginia, along with McAfee Knob and Dragons Tooth.
