(Trail South > North)

US19E - Roan Mountain, TN and Elk Park, NC

After descending from the Roan Highlands, the Trail reaches US19E (2880'). A few miles west is the town of Roan Mountain, TN where lodging, food and shuttling can be found. To the east is Elk Park, NC where lodging and food can be found. Parking is NOT recommended here.

Bishop Hollow

Open area leading from Bear Branch towards Buck Mountain Road. Many apple trees can be found along the Trail.

Jones Falls

Beautiful falls west on short side trail near Elk River.

Hahahaha. I'm not too brghit today. Great post!

Laurel Fork

Crossing of Laurel Fork's headwaters long before the Laurel Fork Gorge. Primitive campsite along the creek.

Way to use the internet to help peploe solve problems!

Coon Den Falls Trail

Coon Den Falls is a 1.3 mile blue blaze trail that can be accessed from Dennis Cove Road. This former AT route was rerouted due to it's steepness and rock scrambling. However, it provides the waterfall enthusiast a loop hike from the AT to a 50 foot waterfall off a steep, rocky cliff.

What I find so interesting is you could never find this anywerhe else.
