Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show October highs around 70°F with lows near 46°F, and May highs around 77°F. July is the warmest month, with typical highs near 89°F. Broken Ridge Trail and Hickory Ridge are both hikes within about a mile.
