What August feels like
August is when the haze the mountains are named for hangs thickest, sitting in the valleys until mid-morning. Crowds thin after the middle of the month as Southern schools go back, and the river pull-offs along Little River Road finally get quiet.
Rain arrives about 9 days of the month, so keep one flexible day in your plans.
