It’s finally here! The crisp, cool air has arrived and invigorates the adventurous spirit in us all. The dog days of summer are far behind us as we begin to brace ourselves for the
coming winter; however, there is no better time to enjoy a few nights of camping or trekking your favorite trails—than now.
Fall may be the perfect season to explore the outdoors. Whether you enjoy the fall foliage or the mild temperatures, grab your Ready-Bag and embark on another adventure. Since the sun sets earlier with each passing day it is paramount that you plan your adventures around the inevitable nightfall that quickly engulfs the day. As I mentioned in a previous blog, a headlamp is a great piece of equipment to have.
Since our time is limited and we may only have a few hours in the early evening, I recommend exploring areas with a higher elevation. This allows you to maximize the limited daylight and ultimately provides you with a great opportunity to observe a gorgeous sunset.
A perfect place for a quick hike and magnificent view is Mount Bonnell. The park provides a short hike to one of the highest points in the Austin area. With an exceptional view of the Colorado River and the Austin skyline, it is one of my favorite early evening hikes…
with a few hours to spare.
