Next weekend, I will travel to the Roan Mountain Highlands to do some backpacking along the Appalachian Trail. I will drive up late Friday night with Althea, sleep in my car and await Andrew and others to arrive early Saturday morning.
We will begin our hike east to Grassy Ridge Bald. Then we will come back to the trail head and hike west to Roan High Knob. We will then continue on to Roan High Bluff. Each of these peaks are listed on the Carolina Mountain Club’s South Beyond 6000 list of 40 peaks in the southern Appalachians over 6000 feet.
Roan High Knob Shelter
After Roan High Bluff, we will return to Roan High Knob, where a shelter awaits.
I am extremely excited to be going on this trip and to this area I have not had the privilege to explore as of yet.
And of course, I will update my special places as well!

is it just you two? or who is the others?
Me, Melissa & maybe Jeff, Andrew, his wife Karen, Chad and his girlfriend Stephanie, Tyler, Aaron. Want to come, Crystal?
YAY!!! Cant wait!!! You wanna come along Crystal? Youd be counted in the others!
It really does sound fun and relaxing, but I am hosting a wine tasting party at my home next weekend, so I kind of have to be there. But if I were to be included, I think I would need my name added directly instead of being included in a general category such as “others”
Thanks for the invite
Your name would most certainly be added directly!
Love it! One of my all-time favorite places on the Southern Appalachian Trail. I loved it so much I got engaged there way back in the day. Enjoy!
Awesome, Jason! I can’t wait to get up there!
