    Hiking

    Round Bald is a 5,826-foot bump along Grassy Ridge within the Roan Highlands. It's barely over a kilometer from the car, so it sees a lot of crowds and picture-enthusiasts. If you push forward towards Jane Bald and Grassy Ridge Bald, you'll get a lot more solitude.

    Hiking

    Excellent hike on a full moon night. Bring a jacket since it is almost always windy up there.
