These photos will provide a glimpse into the unique aspects of the Roan Mountain climb.  This is a beautiful ride.  The last half of the ride are within Roan Mountain State Park and the Pisgah National Forest.  The grade is steady all the way up with the steepest section (9%) being the first 1.5 miles.  The climb ends at the fee station parking lot (elevation 6151).   The Roan High Knob peak (elevation 6285) is only accessible by hiking.
