Roan Mountain Shelter

Hiked up to Roan Mountain Shelter (the highest shelter on the AT) from Hughes Gap. Met a group of hikers heading the same way.....tough hike (lots of elevation gain in a short distance).

apparently i picked up the wrong set of hiking poles as i left the shelter and didn't realize it until the following Monday when i went hiking after work....this is a close up from the 1st picture posted....i picked up the orange pair shown here....mine where the orange pair behind the post (you can see the bottom of them behind the post)....same poles except mine where beat up pretty bad and the grips where pretty well gone.....sorry to whoever's poles i took....if you see this post, contact me and we can switch back....
