    Roan Mountain - Pisgah National Forest, NC Length Difficulty Streams Views Solitude Camping 17.4 mls N/A Hiking Time: 8 hours and 30 minutes with 1 hour and 15 minutes of breaks Elev. Gain: 4,630 ft Parking: Park on Hughes Gap Rd/TN 2680. 36.13685, -82.14091 By Trail Contributor: Zach Robbins Roan Mountain and the Roan Highlands are famous for having the largest natural Catawba rhododendron gardens in the world. The heath shrubs, concentrated among Roan Mountain Gardens, Carvers Gap, Jane Bald, and Grassy Ridge Bald, produce beautiful pink and purple flowers once a year during the month of June. Due to the popularity of the rhododendron blooms and the vistas from the mountaintops, Carvers Gap can be overrun most summer weekends. Carvers Gap is the unofficial bisection of the Roan Highlands and the shortest access to the eastern section of expansive balds. By comparison, Roan Mountain on the west side of Carvers Gap is a mixture of heath balds, spruce-fir forests, and rugged cliffs. This companion hike to the popular Roan Highlands hike explores everything Roan Mountain has to offer. Beginning at Hughes Gap, the hike follows the Appalachian Trail north (compass south) through hardwood forests before climbing to the heights of Roan Mountain. From there you’ll take the Cloudland Trail to views from Roan High Bluff and explore the Roan Mountain Gardens. If you decide to continue the Appalachian Trail, you will be able to summit the high point of the Unaka Mountains and experience outstanding views from the balds. You have the option of doing all of this as a long day hike, or a starting point for a long backpacking trip.

    Extended Abstracts from the Human Dimensions of Wildland Fire Conference October 23-25, 2007 Fort Collins, Colorado Sponsored by: The International Association of Wildland Fire In Conjunction with: Interior West Fire Council Additional Sponsors: Canadian Forest Service Colorado State Forest Service Sustainable Forest Management Network Fire and Aviation Management Joint Fire Sciences Program Pacific Northwest Region University of Alberta USDA, US Forest Service Wildland Fire Lessons Learned Center Thank you for joining us along the Front Range in Colorado for a conference aimed at advancing the knowledge and practice related to the human side of managing fire prone landscapes. Specifically, this conference was intended for researchers and professionals involved in the science or practice of the human dimensions of wildland fire including suppression, fuels management, and community preparedness Many within the wildland fire management community and the human dimension field of study will recall the report to the National Wildfire Coordinating Group titled: "Burning Questions". This conference "Human Dimensions in Wildland Fire" was in response to that report. The objectives of the conference included: • To serve as a venue for communication between wildland fire managers (policy makers, community planners) and social scientists - managers communicating their management problems and research needs to the science community and scientists communicating their research findings to the management community. • To expand and build the network of individuals involved in human dimensions of wildland fire management: ▪ Researchers in various disciplines related to human dimensions of wildfire ▪ Wildland fire and land managers, and community representatives, facing the challenges of fire management. • To foster the development of new research collaborations between managers and researchers and between groups in different regions and countries.

    Peakbagger’s Challenge Hike Information James Madison University Recreation Outdoor Nation Campus Challenge Don’t forget to log your hike at ONcampuschallenge.org with a photo and "Peakbagger's Challenge: (Hike Name)" as the title. HIGH KNOB This hike is short with a big pay-off. High Knob, at elevation of 4,107 feet, offers incredible views all the way around. The old fire detection tower was built by World War I veterans and the Civilian Conservation Corps and was once used by fire wardens for spotting fires. The tower was renovated in 2001-2003 and today is a beautiful reminder of our past; with population increases, fire wardens are no longer necessary in our national forests. http://www.vawilderness.org/high-knob.html FRIDLEY GAP Fridley Gap, in the George Washington National Forest, has a little bit of everything. From gentle mountain streams to ridge climbs and a great swimming hole, this hike has it all. Time: ~ 6.5 hours; Elevation gain: 2,780 ft http://www.hikingupward.com/gwnf/fridleygap/ ELLIOT KNOB Elliot Knob is the highest point in Augusta County, and one of the highest peaks in Virginia. Just west of Staunton and secluded in Buffalo Gap, this hike features two waterfalls, several great views to the west and east, and a grass covered summit. If you're lucky, this hidden treasure can be all yours for a day.
