Day 4 | 41.5 miles 6644 ft of elevation

Another great day. We climbed for many miles straight up Roan Mountain, and have several great pictures. 

Early morning sunrise. 

A horse on the way up. 

Starting up several of the climbs. 

When I was 7 miles from the top I started to see these Pac Men every mile counting down the mileage to the top. I stopped on the way down to take this picture, Grant, and no I didn't stop on the way up. 

Here are several pictures from the top of Roan Mountain. 

Notice the elevation and the Welcome to North Carolina sign in the background. It was a lot colder at the top. 

The AT crosses the top of Roan Mountain and I walked a part of it today. 

Then I rode up to the top of Roan where an old hotel was once located. 

Cloudland Hotel in the 1800's. 

My first selfie at the former Cloudland Hotel.  

Roan Mountain Gardens. 

A view from the gardens. 

Tomorrow is the last day, and it should be relatively easy, around 65 miles and not much elevation, mostly down.
