Autumn in the Northwest is a beautiful time of the year.  And although it means that cooler temperatures and wet weather are just around the corner, it doesn’t  also mean the end of your opportunity to get outdoors and enjoy the natural beauty of the region.  October ushers in the vibrant colors of the season to the regions abundant hiking trails.

Many hiking opportunities are just a short drive from metropolitan Seattle and can have you home and relaxing before the earlier dusk settles in.  Not sure where to start?  A great place to start is this link from the Washington Trails Association highlighting Fall hiking in the region.  A quick Internet search will also yield plenty of other options. 

So, if you are looking for a refreshing way to experience the colors of Northwest  this Fall, consider a local hiking trail.  Just remember to be safe out there.
