The Triangle is truly an area of all seasons... from the sun of Summer, excitement of Spring, to dustings of snow in the Winter and beautiful Fall weather.
This area is referred to as the “Triangle” because of the three main cities which form a triangle when joined: Raleigh, Durham and Chapel Hill.
