Ten Hikes for Spring in the North Carolina Mountains (updated)

Posted on March 22, 2013 by Inn on Mill Creek

The (very green) Black Mountains of North Carolina in springtime

We’ve updated our list of ten hikes around our neck of the woods that are great for enjoying springtime. Western North Carolina has elevations between 1,000 and 6,690 feet, so keep in mind that late March and early/mid-April may still be on the wintry side in the mountains at the higher elevations, while the flowers and flowering trees are blooming at middle elevations such as ours at 2,300 feet. By the end of April and first part of May, spring takes hold everywhere.

Welcome Spring!

Spring is here! It’s our favorite season, so you can imagine how happy we are, even though there may be a little bit of winter here and there over the next few weeks. Our forsythia and daffodils don’t care and therefore, we shouldn’t care, right? So take a moment to welcome Spring and enjoy these photos taken at the Inn on March 20:

We’ve had some amazing weather the past two weeks…amazing in that we’ve had all four seasons wrapped into one! Small flurries, thunderstorms, warm sunny days, you name it.

Yep, Spring is still our favorite season.
