The
Great Smoky Mountains National Park, and the surrounding areas, feature
elevations that range from 800 feet to over 6,640 feet. This drastic
change in altitude can affect weather in unpredictable ways. Temperatures
in upper elevations are normally ten to twenty degrees cooler than
that of the valley. Annual rainfall in this high country is also about
21 inches greater than that of the lowlands. With this in mind, it
is always suggested to be prepared when hiking, camping or exposing
yourself to the elements at higher altitudes. Spring in the mountains
is often unpredictable, so dress in layers when going out and take
cold weather clothing. Summer is hot and humid, but far more pleasant
in the higher elevations. Remember to never drink from streams when
hot, no matter how fresh or clear it might appear. Fall brings warm
days and cool nights. Light snow can occur in the mountains, so dress
warm when viewing the fabulous fall foliage. Winter is relatively
mild in the Smokies, but with increasing elevations comes a greater
chance of snow. Though it may seem warm and comfortable in the valley,
be cautious of sudden snowfall in higher elevations and be prepared.
