Roan Mountain in July

[PatmanTN]

For those that have hiked this section this may cause some nostalgia.

Across the weekend of July 15th-17th my job brought me sorta close to Roan Mountain TN and I jumped at the chance to do an outstanding section of AT (for the fourth time.... and how can you not do this if close?). I parked at Mountain Harbor BnB and paid them to shuttle me to Greasy Creek Gap for a weekend section hike.

After a brief micro-burst I was treated to this awesome rainbow at my Little Hump Mountain camp.
