Good Morning,
A bright half-moonlit night is willingly yielding control of the skies to a vivid sunrise. As we enter late October, the days become cooler and shorter with expediency, with only eleven hours of daylight available to us here in East Tennessee. By mid afternoon, day hikers need to be considering making that trek back down the mountain while there’s still adequate natural light. It’s easy to take all morning making the climb, then get bogged down trying to admire all the sights up top, only to get caught out late unprepared for the darkness or plummeting temps. This will become even more prevalent after the time change in early November. Despite this morning’s frost, temps are slated to stay above freezing this coming week. We might even tag the 50s some afternoons. And there are no precip chances for our neck of the woods until Halloween according to the extended forecasts. That will make for very suitable autumn hiking weather to close out the month. Remember to get those payments in this week for 2024 reservations. Phones will be quite active on November 1st with folks hoping to snag a cancellation. Have a great day.
