What draws over 200,000 visitors to this unique mountain on the Tennessee/North Carolina state line every June? Join the Roaming Bears as some of them head out on a road trip to discover what makes Roan Mountain so popular in the month of June. With elevations over 6k feet, Roan Mountain stands as the 15th highest place east of the Mississippi. But it's lofty peaks are not what set this mountain apart.
