Trail Overview
Spur trail of AT above Carver's Gap. Hike across balds by Catawba rhododendron (late June to September), pick huckleberries (August to mid-September), and reach the natural 360˚ view on the summit.
How to get there
From Kingsport, TN
- Take I-26 south to Exit 24 for US-321/TN-67 toward Elizabethton.
- Continue through Elizabethton and right at traffic light to stay on US-321 South.
- At Hampton, stay on US19E as it veers right.
- At Roan Mountain, turn right (south) onto TN143.
- Travel 13 miles to the TN/NC border and park at Carver's Gap.
(Alternatively at Steps 2-3, once just inside Elizabethton city limits, turn right on TN-362, then right again and follow Gap Creek Rd for 8 miles to US19E, thus bypassing around Elizabethton and Hampton.)
