    +1 to all suggestions to pack warm lightweight clothing as well as a decent bag. It can be 70 degrees in the southern mountains one day and 20 degrees a couple of days later, even in April.

    When I was passing through last fall, it looked like someone was fixing up the old inn in Falls Village. It's been out of business a few years.
