Roan Highlands - AT to Grassy Ridge


A perfect day in the Roan Highlands. Only saw one person once I hiked past Round Bald. The above is a panorama from the AT looking back towards Jane Bald and Grassy Ridge which was my destination.


One of the first views back towards the Black Mountains and Mount Mitchell as you ascend up to Round Bald.



AT atop Round Bald.


Hiking up Grassy Ridge Trail.


Panorama from Grassy Ridge Trail looking back towards Grandfather Mountain. The AT runs along the balds to the center of the picture in an area known as The Humps.



Looking back towards Roan Mountain from Grassy Ridge. Jane Bald and Round Bald in the foreground.





Looking back towards Linville Gorge which is the valley in the distance toward the center of the picture.
