Cloudland was made along the Grassy Ridge Trail on the Tennessee / North Carolina border. The Grassy Ridge Trail intersects with the Appalachian Trail on the Roan Mountain Highlands and traverses Grassy Ridge Bald at 6189 feet. ..At this height, the peaks are often enveloped in early morning clouds. As you hike within the cloud, through rock and evergreen, there is a feeling of serenity within the ruggedness of the mountain.
