How to Enjoy the Quiet Outdoors This Fall

With the buzz of summer behind us, life starts to slow down a bit. Fall presents the perfect opportunity to embrace the quiet outdoors. Whether you’re looking to escape the city and reconnect with nature or simply want to get out and appreciate the quiet beauty of your favorite local park, this time of year offers the ideal backdrop for a variety of relaxing activities. Here’s how you can make the most of this serene season.

Leaf Peeping Runs and Hikes

For lovers of the great outdoors, it doesn’t feel like autumn without leaf peeping, trail running, and hiking. Whether you live on the East Coast, West Coast, or somewhere in the middle, fall foliage abounds, especially by October when the trees turn into a vibrant painter’s palette. Consider it the perfect excuse to lace up your new mens wide athletic shoes that are just as good for trail running as they are for light trekking.


Fire Up the S’mores

There’s nothing like camping and s’mores to get away from the hustle and bustle of your busy schedule. Camping spots can be more plentiful in the fall, especially at dispersed sites. Go to a secluded spot or somewhere that feels like solitude to you—and don’t forget to bring all your s’mores gear. If you can’t get away for a camping trip, maybe you have a fire pit in the backyard that’s perfect for roasting marshmallows and enjoying cool nights under the stars at home.

Take Long Walks

Lace up your foot shaped sneakers, designed to let your toes splay naturally, and head outside. The simple act of walking is one of the best forms of exercise. Not only that, but walking helps you enjoy the natural beauty of where you live. It’s a great way to melt away stress or simply decompress after a long day. Maybe your destination is a park with lots of trees, or you take a sunset stroll beside the river that runs through your town. Anywhere that’s easy to get to and tunes you into your surroundings is an excellent choice.


Go Star Gazing


There’s always something going on in the night sky, whether it’s meteor showers, eclipses, or visibility of other planets. When was the last time you looked up? This fall, identifying constellations may become your new favorite activity. The constellations of Aquarius and Capricorn become more visible in the south as fall progresses. You may also be able to see shooting stars in October during the Orionid Meteor Shower. And don’t forget the Full Hunter’s Moon close to Halloween.

Fall Activities That Don’t Feel Like Workouts

If you’re looking to get extra steps in but aren’t necessarily up for hardcore workouts, embrace some other fall activities. Apple picking and corn mazes let you walk, squat, bend, reach, and chase after little ones. Be prepared to be on your feet with a comfortable pair of sneakers. Fall is also fun run season. Sign up for a local race, lace up your wide toe box running shoes, and enjoy all the vibrant colors and festive atmosphere. Lastly, you might want to clean up around the house. Raking leaves and other yard work is an excellent way to stay active. Plus, it’s a great way to keep your home looking its best all season long.
