“Spring Break” Hikers and Northbound Thru-hikers: Be Prepared for the possibility of Winter Conditions Through April

Even though warm temperatures can occur in March and April, hikers should be prepared for winter conditions and the possibility of snow on all parts of the Trail through early April. The possibility of snow, ice, and sub-freezing temperatures continues throughout the month of April at higher elevations of the South (and the northern portions of the A.T.)
