Autumn is here! Stay safe and enjoy the season with these tips:

🌅 Shorter Days — With daylight fading earlier, plan your hikes accordingly and bring a flashlight or headlamp if you’ll be out near sunset.

🌧️ Slippery & Muddy Trails — Wet leaves and muddy trails can make for slippery conditions. Wear sturdy shoes, watch your step, and take your time.

❄️ Cooler Temps — Temperatures can change quickly in the fall. Dress in layers and bring an extra layer to stay comfortable.
