HIGHLIGHTS:  The Appalachian Trail hugs the border between North Carolina and Tennessee for nearly 200 miles, but it doesn't enter Tennessee for good until it meets the Nolichucky River, the site of the Nantahala Outdoor Center (NOC) which has a hiker hostel a few hundred feet from the Trail. Erwin is not actually on the AT, but is located about four miles from the NOC.  In Tennessee, there is plenty of high country with elevations frequently exceeding 5000 feet. The highest mountains along the Trail, some in excess of 6000 feet, are along the North Carolina-Tennessee state line and included both Hump and Roan Mountain.
