Hiking season in full swing
For many folks Labor Day means the end of outdoor activities for the year but for me this is just the start of prime hiking season. In many parts of the country the leaves are starting to change and the air is getting cooler and hiking is a great excuse for getting outside. Here in the southeast it’s really too hot and humid to do any serious trekking in the summer so the fall is a great time to get back on the trail.
Over in California a blogger named Molly writes about her hiking trip at Uvas Canyon County Park near Morgan Hill over Labor Day weekend. The post includes some great pics of the local flora including a good primer on identifying poison oak. Also check out the tree bark photo - cool looking stuff.
Suzanne writes about her hike at Mt. Charleston in the Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest in Alaska and posted some pretty incredible photos as well. The scenery in the photos reminds me of Colorado a bit where the Aspen leaves are starting to turn yellow for the fall.
No matter where you live the fall is one of the best times to get out and hike. Who knows, you might even find a trail you never knew existed!
