Roan Mountain Beginners Hike
Join me, East Tennessee Ambassador Danielle, on this gorgeous and beginner friendly hike through Roan Mountain. We will hike either Cloudland trail (.6 miles) or Blue 2 trail loop (2 miles) first both easy hikes before heading up to Carvers Gap (1.6 miles). We will eat lunch at the top if you wish and hang out for a little bit before the trek back down. After that we can go head up and explore the rhododendron forest 🌳 (Hike is weather dependent and can be cancelled due to inclement weather for safety)
