Weekend on the Trails: Sunday Afternoon Is the Warmest Time to Walk
What is the weather for hiking this weekend near Columbus and Pine Mountain?
Saturday and Sunday are sunny and rain-free across west Georgia and east Alabama, with 8 AM temperatures in the 30s and afternoons from 53 at F.D. Roosevelt State Park to 62 at Lakepoint State Park near Eufaula.

If you only get out once this weekend, make it Sunday afternoon. Saturday and Sunday are both sunny from end to end with essentially no rain anywhere in the viewing area, but Sunday afternoon runs 2 to 4 degrees warmer and the wind goes almost completely calm.
The mornings are a different animal. At 8 AM Saturday it will be 35 at Callaway Gardens in Pine Mountain and 36 up on the ridge at F.D. Roosevelt State Park, while Chewacla State Park outside Auburn and Lakepoint State Park at Eufaula are both starting at 41. That is a 6-degree spread across an hour and a half of driving, and Sunday it widens: 35 at F.D. Roosevelt against 43 at Chewacla at the same hour.
On the Chattahoochee RiverWalk in Columbus and Phenix City, Saturday begins at 38 and reaches 57 by 2 PM, though the wind picks up to around 10 mph along the open water in the afternoon. Sunday is better on the river: 37 at 8 AM, 61 by 2 PM, with the wind down near 5 mph.
Callaway Gardens goes from 35 in the morning to 55 Saturday afternoon and 58 Sunday afternoon. F.D. Roosevelt State Park and Dowdell's Knob stay the coolest spot both days, topping out at 53 Saturday with that 10 mph breeze running over the ridge, then 57 Sunday with the air nearly still. Higher ground is always a few degrees cooler, and on a ridge there is nothing to block the wind.
Providence Canyon near Lumpkin sits at 37 at 8 AM both mornings and reaches 57 Saturday and 59 Sunday. Expect the canyon floor to feel colder than the rim first thing: after a clear, calm night, cold air is heavy and drains downhill into low ground, and it takes the sun a while to clear it out.
The warmest walking in the area is on the Alabama side. Chewacla near Auburn climbs to 58 Saturday and 61 Sunday, and Lakepoint at Eufaula reaches 59 and then 62, the highest afternoon reading anywhere on this list.
Dress in layers you can shed. The air is dry right now — the dew point in Columbus is 41 — and dry air means shade feels sharply colder than sunshine and the temperature climbs quickly once the sun is up. Gloves and a knit cap for the first hour, a long-sleeve shirt by lunch, and water even though it does not feel like a water day.
One more thing to plan around: Columbus is down to 10 hours and 37 minutes of daylight, with the sun setting at 5:41 PM, and we are losing about a minute and a half of it every day until the December solstice on Monday, December 21. The light in the woods goes flat well before sunset, so start the afternoon loop earlier than you think you need to.
