Here comes a storm

Before you start your trip to the mountain, check the local weather forecast to be sure that you will have a dry time.

Though we are located north of Atlanta, we're still apt to the same hot summers and mild winters as our neighbors. The mountain top generally ranges 8-10 degrees cooler than at the base. In fall and winter, be prepared with a light weight jacket on hand. 

Known to residents of the area, it may rain on one side of the mountain and not on the other. What a great obstruction the mountain can be. 

After planning your activities check back to see what the weather will have in store for your day. As a reminder, if you don't like the weather, don't worry, it will change in about an hour.
