Briefly about the general area: Summer brings highs in the 80's to Little River. All through the dark hours of summer temperatures
sink down into the 50's. During the wintertime highs are frequently in the 40's with temperatures at Little River dipping down into the 20's all through winter nights. All year is a magnificent time in the Blue Ridge Mountains if you go for the outdoors. A short tour to High Falls
is always worthwhile. Little River is a rather wet place ordinarily with a great deal of precipitation; during March this area sees the most rain, and October meanwhile is the driest month. Triple Falls is a striking spot to pop by while you're at Little River, and The Nooks is an attention-grabbing site to visit while at Little River.
