Fall is hands down the best of the four seasons. The temp is just right for sleeping, you can wear a light jacket and still rock shorts, you get to eat all things apple and cinnamon, and best of all, there are no bugs.

Here are three of my favorite fall pastimes.

Hiking

Hiking is a great way to get a workout in and see the beauty of New England. There is a hike for everyone and every level within a 30 minute to one hour drive.

One of the best tools to find the right hike for you is the All Trails App. The app does a great job of telling you which trails are easy, moderate, and difficult. It also gives you directions and elevation gain; this is helpful information when choosing what hike is right for you.

Raking Leaves

Raking leaves? Fun?

Before you call me crazy, there are three main points I would like to make before you make your final judgment.

It gets you up and active
There is something so satisfying seeing the rake take away all the old grass and leaves and leaving behind a clean, vibrant lawn
If you wanted to, you could rake a big pile of leaves and jump in them; this is still not as fun as the satisfaction of looking back on a clean lawn, but to each their own.

Buy A Cup of Coffee

Out of the three activities, this is my favorite way to get out and active in the Fall.

Go to a local coffee shop and pick up a cup of hot coffee and walk about town. Taking in the sights and sounds all the while breathing in the nice crisp air of Fall. Suppose you feel a little chill come your way, take a nice warming sip of coffee.

What are some of your favorite ways to get you out and active this fall?
