Fall is the perfect season to explore the outdoors. Why not head to your local national park or even take a scenic trip to the Eastern Townships to soak in the vibrant fall colours?
With crisp air, colourful foliage, and comfortable temperatures, hiking is an ideal way to reconnect with nature and yourself.
Here are 5 tips to make the most of your fall hiking adventures while also prioritizing rest and wellbeing:
1. Pace Yourself
When it comes to hiking, it’s important to listen to your intuition by pacing yourself and avoiding overexertion. Enjoying the journey matters more than rushing to the summit.
2. Balance Activity With Recovery
Make sure to balance your activity with proper recovery. This helps your body stay energized and reduces the risk of burnout.
3. Pack Light
Keep your backpack minimal. The lighter you travel, the more comfortable your hike will be.
4. Bring the Essentials
Always carry the essentials with you on your hiking adventure including water, snacks, a map, a first aid kit, and layers for changing weather conditions. Being prepared ensures safety and peace of mind.
5. Plan Ahead
Check trail conditions, weather forecasts, and park regulations ahead of time. Planning your hike allows for a safer, smoother, more enjoyable adventure.
