Take a Hike!
The first day of autumn – last Wednesday, September 22, 2010 – slipped by me unnoticed, because, well, it quite simply didn’t start to feel like fall until today. Now that the air is getting crisper, I’ve started taking blankets out of the closet each night. I’ve started thinking about wearing shoes that require socks. And I’ve been thinking that I can’t wait to go on my first autumn hike of the year to see the trees before, during, and after the leaves change.
If you’re thinking of taking a hike while you travel this fall, be sure to check out Trails.com‘s trail finder. Simply enter the zip code of the area you are planning to visit, and hopefully you’ll find that there’s a hiking trail or two that you can check out during your trip. Or, if you live in or near a major metropolitan area, then visit LocalHikes.com for suggestions of where to hike near your city.
As with any physical pursuit, exercise caution before you exercise. Bring enough food and water, follow your trail map, and stay safe!

Wow can’t believe summer is already gone! Time goes by so fast! My favorite season is over

I really need to get back into hiking more. When I was younger you couldn’t keep me away from nature. Now that I live in a big city I find myself spending less and less time outdoors.
Also, be sure you have partners with you when you hike. They can be helpful when you have a problem!
@Aluminum Cases, What city or where abouts are you? If you don’t me asking. If anything I guess you should go out and try to chase your dreams
go for it!

I live near Vancouver, BC. So I really I have no excuse to not get out more. There are so many great trails and scenery around. It’s just a matter of getting off the couch or computer chair.
It is the best time of year to hike. The air is crisp, you won’t be so hot, and the scenery is beautiful if you have the changing leaves to view. Watch out for wet leaves and wear good shoes, well worth it to get out there while you still can!
Yea, it only just dawned on me also that winter’s near.
Been so busy this summer that there’s been no time for hiking and other activities.
Love hikes created very detailed database. This website going to be very popular among hikers.

I think enjoying nature is quite important. It reminds people how important it is to make environmentally friendly decisions. If we’re sitting in front of a computer or television all the time, it’s easy to overlook how important it is to protect the environment.
Hiking is definitely one of my favorite activities. Even though it’s tough to find time, I always make it a point to go hiking once every few weeks. Nothing like being close to nature and test yourself at the same time. I try to get some close friends to go with me too. It’s a lot more fun that way as we can camp out at the end of the trail before returning.
