As a resident, Dyanni will probably have a better take on climate, but I've a cabin in another section of the Blue Ridge about an hour west of Black Rock, and at a lower elevation. So, I would think that, in mid-April, Black Rock's elevation could still be visited with light overnight frost. (The latest I've seen winter weather in the North Georgia mountains is April 4, but know frost can even hit Atlanta up until April 15th). I'd anticipate average daytime highs in the upper 60's to mid 70's and night time lows in the upper 40's to mid 50s.

Given that the dogwoods and azaleas are just about to burst-open here in Atlanta, and knowing the mountains are at least two-weeks later in spring, we should arrive in time for every VX to take on a yellow-green irridecense. With all of the colors due to show-up, maybe we can have a contest as to whos VX does the best job of camoflauging under the pollen

Black Rock has some excellent 6-8 mile dayhikes. So bring some good footwear if you plan on exploring the wildflowered trails, which are sure to please. Orchids, lilies and blue phloxes should be littering the forest floor in mid-April. (Bet you can't tell I'm an ecologist).
