Cold Temperatures and Clear Skies in Banner Elk, NC


No more snow, instead we woke up to clean skies and colds temps.  With last night's lows in the 20's, this morning's 32 degrees feels like a heat wave.  Luckily, we're headed toward 50 by the end of the day.  

Warmer weather should be back this weekend, with temps in the low 70's.


This winter was unusually warm with very little snow, less than 40".   Compared with more than 140" inches last year, the High Country got off easy this year.  But, for businesses that cater to summer clientele, it's been an early start to a great season.

Wahoo's Adventures and High Country Expeditions have already started running trips.

Whitewater rafting, rock climbing, guided hikes, fly fishing and more have taken off fast and show no signs of letting up.

The summer season is off to a great start for everyone.  

Remember, no matter what your interest, Banner Haven is close to all the High Country interests.  It's a great place to stay whether your rafting the class 4 and 5 rapids of local rivers, fly fishing local streams and hiking local trails.  The Innkeepers, Greg and Amy, will be happy to help guide you  to the nearest place for whatever you're looking for.
