The parking area at Carvers Gap on the Tennessee-North Carolina state line often overflows with cars on weekends. The lot provides hikers access to one of the most beloved sections of the Appalachian Trail in the Roan Highlands. When parking spots are scarce, said Southern Appalachian Highlands Conservancy trustee Jay Leutze, drivers often trample sensitive habitat or line up along the highway, forming a traffic hazard.
