Autumn Hikes

Spend Time in Nature

Autumn is one of the best seasons to head outdoors. The air is crisp and fresh, sunlight ignites the meadow basins and ripe berries hang heavy on their vines. The summer crowds have dissipated and insects start their seasonal slow down. Vibrant greens found in summer give way to spectacular fall hues and a slight chill fills the air.

To welcome this magical change in the seasons, grab your favorite puffer and head outside to connect with the natural world. Breathe in the crisp air, and have a few quiet moments to reflect on what changes you might like to see in the coming months. Gather leaves, twigs, branches and grasses to bring home for autumnal crafts and decor.

Or host a bonfire with your friends for a communal experience. Gather ingredients for s’mores and celebrate the changing of the seasons. Whatever you decide, the outdoors is waiting to welcome you in it’s fall embrace.
