​Gateway to Roan Mountain

Bakersville has been known as the "Gateway to the Roan" for decades.

• Take a short drive up to Roan Mountain, for spectacular views, acres of rhododendron gardens, and the site of the old Cloudland Hotel. 
• Hike the Cloudland Trail at Roan Mountain to two overlooks at Roan High Bluff; 2.4 miles round-trip, moderate difficulty, and dog-friendly.
