Three night, midweek, off-season camping getaways are becoming our standard mini-trips. You get an easy travel/setup day, two full days to explore, and an easy pack up and return day.
Yet another great, near empty state park. Roan Mtn SP is near the NC/TN border, just an easy 100 mile drive from home. Had a great site, right on the Doe River. Beech Mountain ski area is close by, so Bob went skiing on Tuesday, while Betsy explored the various trails right in the park. Weather was glorious - sunny with a high of 45-ish - and skiing fantastic.
On day 3, we went up and hiked around the various Roan Mountain Balds. Big, wide-open areas with 360 degree views. It reminded us of Banff, Canada. 50 degrees, very windy, with residual snow in the sheltered areas. Plenty of people hiking on a sunny weekday.
