In July, you can expect any kind of weather on the Roan Highlands, but today was picture perfect. While I will have a little more to say later (mostly with pictures) when we arrived at Carvers Gap it was in the low 50's and some overnight hikers said was cold on Grassy Ridge Bald...hovering around 40 degrees. While there were some clouds to start it cleared up and the temperatures were a stark contrast to last weekend.
Our hike took us up Round and Jane Bald where we saw plenty of "drunk" Bumble Bees on Mountain Angelica. When we got back to Carvers Gap we even spotted another Wood Booger.
After coming down I finally went to the Miller Homestead in Roan Mountain State Park and it was really cool especially the overlook that had an incredible view of the Roans (It will be even better in winter). Like I say a Day on the Roans is better than any that are not.
