What to pack

What September feels like

September is the hiker's month, with the summer crowds gone and the leaf traffic not yet started. Over on the North Carolina side the elk rut gets going in Cataloochee, and the bugling at dusk is worth the long drive around.

Rain arrives about 7 days of the month, so keep one flexible day in your plans.
