Roan Mountain, Tennessee ....which includes the world's largest natural rhododendron garden
Have a great week :-)
Roan Mountain is the highpoint of the Roan-Unaka Range of the Southern Appalachian Mountains, located in the Southeastern United States. The mountain is clad in one of the thickest stands of coniferous forest in the southern Appalachians, the world's largest natural rhododendron garden, and the longest stretch of grassy bald in the Appalachian range.[2] The Cherokee National Forest and Pisgah National Forest converge atop the mountain, with Roan Mountain State Park located near its northern base. The Appalachian Trail crosses most of the Roan's crest. The Roan High Knob Shelter is the highest backcountry shelter on the entire 2,174-mile (3,499 km) trail.[3]
Roan Mountain comprises the greater part of the Roan Highlands, a 20-mile (32 km) massif stretching from Big Rock Creek in the west to U.S. Route 19 in the east. Most of this massif lies along the Tennessee-North Carolina border, between Carter County and Mitchell County. ... from Wikipedia
