My first experience with any part of the AT and it was a good one. A crowded trail at first, but get at least 3/4 of a mile in and the tourists clear out. Then you are in for awe inspiring views. Keep going past the peak of Roan Mountain for the best parts of the trail.

We hiked out over the balds twice this past month. 3.8 miles RT from Carvers Gap. Views are outstanding. The goats were still there for the first hike and it was neat to see their handywork on the briars. Be prepared for wind and cool weather - even in summer. Temps are much cooler at that altitude than stated on weather sites for Roan Mtn.
