Day 165/September 13

Miles hiked: 14.8 in 7:04
Start: Carvers Gap, Route 261, NC
Finish; Route 19E, Roan Mountain, TN

The first day that I got to hike the big balds, Round Bald, Jane Bald, Little Hump and Hump Mountain. Wonderful slack packing day as I headed north from Carvers Gap to Roan Mountain, where I stayed at the Roan Mountain Bed and Breakfast.

Early morning fog, seen as I reached the top of Round Bald.




The end of a great day's hike--pizza at Smokey Mountain Bakery in Roan Mountain. They had a great house salad, too.

Route from my Suunto.
