BEST TIME TO HIKE IN GEORGIA
Anytime is a good time to hike and play in Georgia. However, there are some month that are better than others. Georgia can be very hot and humid during the Summer months. However, up in the Northern Georgia Mountains you can easily find some release from the heat when higher in elevation. Which leads to a good point. DON’T underestimate Mountain Nights in Georgia. They can be rather windy and chilly even in summer. Finding water on any of the trails is normally not a problem. Some season’s there is a ton of water, other season’s it can be a struggle.
Early April Through late May is the best time if you want to experience warm days and cool nights.
January through March is great if you want to see the mountain top views. Please Plan & Prepare appropriately to make sure your hiking experience is a good one. Weather in the North Georgia Mountains can change very quickly. Here is our suggested Gear List for Backpacking in Georgia
