This summer I will hiking this section of the at with a group of boy scouts about 15 of us. Since we have a large group we are trying to stay away from using shelters. Do you know if there is enough space around around roan high nob to put up 5 tents?

Well when I was there last there was about 3 foot of snow on the ground. There is plenty of room but I do not know how flat you will find it in the summer. We had problem hanging about 20 or so hammocks.

Just before Roan High Knob shelter you will get to Ash Gap. You can easily find room for 5 tents here. Heading north, the water is down a steep hill to the right. There is a sign marking the water but it was a trickle in May 2014.

Ash Gap is about half way up Roan Mountain.
