Friday Nudge: Enjoy Spring this Weekend

Have you seen the weekend forecast? Highs in the 60s, sunny skies. Spring, finally.
We’re going to be hiking at Little River Regional Park on the Durham/Orange line Saturday morning, then visiting Harris Lake County Park for a loop around the Peninsula Trail Sunday afternoon. After a week of temperatures nearing 80, the wildflowers should be in especially good form.

If you’re looking for a hike home, we made a bunch of recommendations to our friends at BlueCross BlueShield of North Carolina. You can check out those here.

Here’s a preview of what to expect if you head up to Little River this weekend — just add the sunshine!

Your Friday Nudge …

Last weekend we were frozen in snow and ice, today it’s 70 and raining, it may snow again Wednesday but it definitely will be cold again. Real cold. But this weekend is looking hiking perfect. Temperatures Saturday will be around 50, in the upper 30s Sunday, all under mostly sunny skies. So no time to quibble: you need to get out.

Our Piedmont Explorer group kicks off its 2018 season Saturday with a 7-mile hike at Medoc Mountain State Park, the focus of today’s Nudge. It’s the first in a monthly series of hikes intended to showcase the best hiking in the Piedmont you may not have done. Learn about that series here, discover more hiking in our GetHiking! program here.
