As summer comes to a close, many of us are trying to fill the few warm weekends we have left with plenty of adventure. While the beach will stay fairly warm through September, the mountains will soon begin to see 40 degree nights…and that means one thing: the water will be even colder. In these last few weeks of August, a trip to the mountains, or better yet, the Nantahala Outdoor Center, will make Summer 2016 super complete!
