HOME The Mountain Life Things to do in the fall

Things to do in the fall

• Enjoying The ''Almost Winter'' Season
  Much as I enjoy those peak foliage weeks, the quiet weeks that follow may even be better.  

• Saving the sea turtles
  Late each fall, young tropical turtles wash up on the Cape Cod shores. And each fall, volunteers help save them.  

• Staying in shape during the change of seasons
  You can only take so much winter at the start of the season. You need to transition slowly.  

• Bullfights in Canada
  Once in a lifetime adventures: Witnessing a fierce battle between bull moose in the wild northern woods  

• Camping in the cold
  Many of us camp in the summer, but few of us sleep outside other times of the year. That's a shame!  

• Light my fire
  When camping in the rain and cold, being able to light a fire can be a life saver. Here's how.  

• Leave the leaves
  Why waste the beauty of late autumn on yard work? Take a walk ... and get outdoors!  

• Make Safety a Focus
  Here are tips for keeping yourself out of trouble on big hikes (and yes, even short walks).  

• Closed Roads and Black Ice
  Making the most of a late fall trip to Stowe before the ski season begins.  

• Out-of-season ski stories
  In October 2005, a pair of Northeasters hit New England's bigger mountains. It was still golf season ... but we all got to ski.  

• Going to Jackmandu
  Northern Maine towns of Jackman and Moose River are almost paradise for hiking, biking, canoeing
