Get Outside This Weekend With One Of These Charlotte Hikes
The weather is looking gorgeous this weekend.
Friday, there is a high of 81, Saturday a high of 66 and Sunday, a high of 70; so yeah, pretty perfect!
While a lot of places aren’t yet open at full capacity which can make finding an outdoor table hard, there are still ways to get out and enjoy the beautiful weather this weekend.
One of my favorite ways to enjoy nice weather when we have it in Charlotte, is to go on a long walk. If you’re not sure where to walk, check out some of the best hikes/ trails in and around Charlotte.
