Roan Mountain | Backpacking on the AT
In August of 2022, I set out on another three day adventure with my trusty canine companion. Together we trekked a little over 20 miles across the Roan massif making stops at the many historic sites along the way like Cloudland Hotel and Yellow Mountain Gap (Overmountain shelter) I read so much about this unique part of Appalachia over the years, it was finally time to experience it for myself. If you're wondering what makes Roan such a special place, I think this quote from an old Cloudland brochure answers it perfectly: "No pen can picture the grandeur of the mountain view... Too great for description, too lovely to paint, it can only be realized by actual presence." For more stories from this adventure, read the trail journal on my blog: seagrasstosassafras.com/post/roanmountain.
Check out the itinerary I put together from this trip! Route details, resources I used to plan the trip, campsite and water source descriptions, elevation profiles, info for local shuttle providers, and MORE all in one neatly organized PDF. (While it isn’t a substitute for doing your own research and preparation, hopefully it will take the guess work out of planning your own trip.) seagrasstosassafras.com/product-page/roanmountain
