 | Fall hiking offers much more to enjoy; the spectacular color changes, uncrowded trails and generally good conditions. But beware, fall hikes also offer challenges. The best tip we can offer is "Be Prepared"; weather changes are a fact of life. It is possible to experience sunshine, rain and even snow, with sudden temperature drops within a couple of hours. When planning your outing, keep in mind that the daylight hours are shorter, so the distance of your selected day hike becomes more important. Can you make the return trip in daylight hours? Keep in mind the following tips for your fall adventure in the mountains. |
- Safety First. Have the right gear for the weather you may encounter. Think layers.
- Happy Feet. Sturdy, comfortable hiking boots are a must for fall hiking.
- Pack extra socks, ensure toenails clipped.
- Hydration. Keep hydrated, carry ample water.
- Hat & Sun blocker. The fall sun is still strong at elevation.
- Bear Spray. Enough said!
- Pack food and snacks. Carry fire starter device and make sure you bring a good flashlight, just in case!
- Be sure to conduct a pre-hike study of the trail selected.
- In the fall, it can suddenly turn cold. Have you got a space blanket or a lightweight sleeping bag?
To enjoy your hike, hike smart. We appreciate your patronage and would love to see you back!
Don't forget you can stock up on snacks and hiking supplies at the General Store!

|
- If you are a hiker, carry Bear Spray and be Bear Smart, avoiding surprise encounters. A loud shout, singing and conversation is more effective than Bear Bells.
- If hiking, travel in groups if possible.
- Wear full or mid-cut boots for support. Tennis shoes and urban athletic shoes are too flexible for roots, rocks and rough terrain.
- Hat, sunglasses and sun-blocker a must, fire starter & a pocket knife a good idea too.
- 1-2 liters of water for a day hike; fruit, nuts, and a sandwich as well.
- Jacket or vest for mountain chills & rain slick.
- Bug spray recommended.
- If you must take your dog with you, keep it on a leash!

Traditionally, August is the warmest month of the season with sunny skies and settled weather; the best time to plan a mountain adventure. All hiking trails are open and as a result, you'll have some company in the back country, but that is a good thing. Hiking with other folks or in groups is advisable in August when the berries ripen and the bears are enjoying the harvest, fattening up for the coming winter.
The clear August days are also the photographer's dream. If you are hoping to spot wildlife, be on the road in the early morning, as most animals disappear into the cool of the forest to escape the heat of the day and the noise of traffic. But remember, don't feed them!
