Hiking in the fall gives you a chance to see some of nature’s most colorful art displays without the heat, humidity, and mosquitoes – assuming you don’t live in southern Florida or California, of course. If you’ve never been hiking in the fall in a cool climate, let me tell you: it’s worth the trip.
