We hiked this one way, Carvers Gap to Cloudland site and then down the back of Roan Mtn to Hughes Gap. We really enjoyed this section. It feels like a fairy tale woodland! Going uphill at this altitude will cause you to get winded so be prepared to take some breaks. Be prepared for cooler temps even in summer.

Great hike. I started this hike at yellow mtn gap and ended at indian grave gap. This is a hard hike and not for beginners. There are some good views and if you go in the summer like i did expect crowds on the roan.
