Hello fellow explorers,

I hope your weeks' have been as great as the views I captured on this hike. Roan Mountain has been by far one of my favorite hikes that I have done. Being that I live in Boone NC, I'm always looking for new hikes to do outside of the area I live. Roan is the perfect distance outside of town for a day trip with some awesome friends on the weekend. It's spectacular views will win over any heart to who experiences the beauty Roan offers.

Where is it? Roan Mountain is located in southeastern Carter County, near the Tennessee-North Carolina border. From downtown Boone it takes an hour (44 miles) to get to the trailhead at Roan Mountain. There are multiple trailheads to take on Roan, but the best spot to start your hike is at the Carvers Gap trailhead. If you put in your GPS Carvers Gap Tennessee, it will guide you all the way to the trailhead.

Trail Description? Roan stands at an elevation of 6,825 feet. The trail starts you off in a gap between two mountains (hence the name Carvers Gap). The trail is very well kept and easy to recognize even with snow on the ground. You will begin to ascend up the side of the mountain through a very dense wooded area. After you get out of the wooded area you will immediately see why Roan is such an attractive place to hike. Roan mountain is bald. That's right, aside from the initial wooded area you go through for about .3 miles, the rest of Roan has no trees obstructing your view. The entire trail provides you with panoramic views of the surrounding mountains. The trail is about two miles one way and 4 miles altogether. The trail is considered moderate with no cliff sides to ascend and descend. The humps of the mountains are easy to hike across with little effort. You will cross two of Roans humps to get to the very top of Roan.

How long will it take? The length of the trip will depend on how long you take to snap some pictures and enjoy the spectacular views as well as where you are traveling from. The entire experience (including driving time) will take roughly 5 hours.

How to enjoy Hiking? Hiking is one of those experiences that make all the difference with good friends and some awesome photography skills. Learning to appreciate natural beauty is key to enjoying hiking. It is not always something that comes easily to us humans with fast paced lives. While hiking we often have a hard time focusing on the experience and look forward to just getting the cool pictures and moving on to the next activity. I want to challenge all my viewers to focus on making yourselves be content in moments that are worth being treasured.

Quote of the Day: Selflessness isn't thinking less of yourself. It's thinking of yourself less. C.S. Lewis

Tune in for more epic hiking trails and pictures every week when I go on a new hike!
