 Roan Mountain encompasses five summits, which are divided into two sections by Carver's Gap.The first section — composed of Roan High Bluff and Roan High Knob — lies west of Carver's Gap and is characterized by a thick coniferous forest.This part of Roan is shaped something like the body of a double-humped camel, with the "humps" being High Bluff and High Knob.
