If we park at Hughes Gap we're in for a workout :) When I was on Katahdin I asked several thru's to name 5 mountains they remembered; Roan was on everyones list because of the climb out of Hughes Gap :(
In the meantime I'll call the park and ask if the state maintains the road to Carvers if at all.
