  • Fall on the trail is even better with a night hike September 27, 2023
    The following is a version of a piece we run every year at this time, a time when our spirits are buoyed by day by cloudless skies and cooling temperatures, but bummed when those days of sun end earlier and earlier.  October is almost upon us, which for hikers is good in oh-so-many ways.

    As part of Year of the Trail, the Great Trails State Coalition, the non-profit driving the observation, has designated themes for each month.
