The Blue Ridge Mountains in February are typically cool and a little wet. You can see more about the historical data on this page.
This beautiful season provides many outdoor recreation opportunities, including hiking, mountain biking, and star-gazing. You may bring your own equipment or YMCA equipment may be available for rent during the conference for use on their extensive trail system. We recommend bringing warm layers for your stay at Blue Ridge Assembly, including warm, sturdy boots as there will likely be precipitation and rugged terrain.
