Time for Autumn Adventures

Even though the seasons have changed, it hasn't changed our desire to get out and hike.  It does restrict when and where we hike and as a result we haven't sent out a new posting in some time.

Since our last posting of our hike on the Fish Lake Trail,  we have hiked at Roxy Ann/Prescott Park, Valley of the Rogue State Park, and of course at one of our favorite local hiking areas, the Jacksonville Woodland Trails - twice.  We are closing in on 200 miles for the year which for us would be the most miles in a single year!

Since these are all local hikes that we have done many times, we don't usually take many pictures (if any) and don't want to send out postings of the same hike over and over again on our blog.  Thus you may notice fewer postings through the Autumn and Winter months.

Having said that, Autumn is one of our favorite times of the year to hike as the temperatures drop, leaves change and the trails are less crowded.  We are hoping to get out on one or two more new hikes before years' end and if we do, we will try to put out a posting.

In the meantime, we want to encourage each of you to get out and enjoy the outdoors near you or at least take a walk through your neighborhood in the evening and enjoy a sunset. Don't let life quickly pass you by without taking the time to enjoy and experience the beauty around you.

To get a glimpse of what we mean, here are some of our Autumn pictures from various hikes we have done in the past.  We hope they inspire you to get outdoors......

  2. We also get the bug to go out and hike in the autumn, the cooler crisp weather makes hiking almost magical. Unfortunately, we usually want to head into the higher elevations (our favorite hikes) and then we are turned away by the snowpack. Oh well, we'll stick closer to home for the time being.
