Official pagePacking notes
- Asheville-area summer days are milder than the Piedmont's, but the sun is strong at elevation and artificial turf heats up: bring shade, sunscreen and plenty of water.
- Mountain weather changes fast. Afternoon thunderstorms are common in summer, and spring and fall evenings turn chilly, so pack layers and rain gear.
