It was beautiful up on Jane Bald in the Roan Mountain State Park yesterday. The Rhododendron Festivals are happening this weekend. We're hoping for beautiful weather!

This photo was taken atop Jane Bald at Roan Mountain State Park at sunrise on Sunday morning.

On Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, you can take in the magnificence of thousands of blooms in the Rhododendron Gardens, as well as the two celebrations of them in Bakersville, NC and Roan Mountain, TN. These two towns located on either side of the State Park celebrate the blooming of the beautiful evergreens this weekend.
