For comfortable weather, aim for late spring or early fall. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show May highs around 72°F and September highs around 80°F, while July and August average about 90°F. Mill Creek Trail is about 0.4 miles away, and the 1300 East Multi-Use Path is about 1.3 miles off.
