Good afternoon,

​What’s been a glorious stretch of sunny days is coming to a halt today, as clouds fill the sky and the threat of rain looms for the latter of the day. Yesterday’s high reached 50° and our low dipped to a chilly 31°. It is currently 42 and cloudy.

Sunday should be better for exploring the woods in drier conditions. We’re more than halfway through what is one of the busiest months in the Smokies. Remember to get to the trailheads early if you’re hoping to snag a paved parking spot, otherwise you’ll be adding to your hike by parking along the road.

Have a great weekend!
