]]> Majestic waterfalls are a wonder of nature and a truly gratifying way to end a tough hike. They provide a beautiful view and, in spots where it’s safe, you can jump in the water and cool down by swimming or even standing under the waterfall itself! Here are three hikes at easy, moderate, and difficult levels around the U.S.

Easy: Koosah Falls and Sahalie Falls, OG

This 2.6 mile loop hike is a two-for-one deal on waterfalls. You can view both Koosah and Sahalie by hiking along the McKenzie River in the Cascade Mountains in Oregon. Koosah Falls stands at 70 feet tall and Sahalie falls at 100 feet.

Moderate: Horsetail Falls and Bridal Veil Falls, AK

During the winter, these two waterfalls actually become frozen falls that people ice-climb! But in spring, they melt, becoming two amazing reasons to hike the 2.6-mile one-way Keystone Canyon Pack Trail, which gains 250 feet of elevation from bottom to top. If you happen to be in Alaska and don’t want to brave the hike, you can also see the two falls from the highway!

Difficult: Cedar Creek Falls, CA

This 6.6-mile round-trip hike is quite advanced with 600 feet of elevation being gained along the way and the California heat to make things even harder. For that reason it’s best to hike this during cool months, but either way you’ll be richly rewarded with the chance to swim in the “Devil’s Punchbowl” at the bottom of the falls.

]]> If hiking happens to be your favorite pastime, you shouldn’t give it up now that fall is here, but it’s important to approach it differently. Your outfit will be the first thing that it’s going to change, and here are a few things you should keep in mind when choosing it.

Layer Up

Wearing quick-drying and moisture-wicking fabrics, such as synthetics and wool-blends is a must, no matter what the season. What makes dressing for the fall different is that you have to wear several layers that you can take off or put back on as the weather changes throughout the day.

Ready for Rain

You should always check the weather forecast before embarking on the hike and only hit the road if it’s not going to rain, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t prepare for the worse. Weather can be extremely changeable in the fall and you should always pack a rain jacket, just in case.

Proper Footwear

Since there’s always a chance that you’ll encounter rain during your winter hikes, wearing waterproof hiking shoes or boots is a must. You should also consider getting an extra layer of protection by wearing moisture-wicking socks that will keep your feet dry in rainy conditions.

]]> Summer is coming to an end in just a few weeks, and many of the activities you enjoy will have to adapt to this change. Hiking is the best example, and here are some major changes you can count on once temperatures start dropping.

Checking the Forecast

You should always check the weather forecast before going on a hike, but it’s even more crucial to do it once the summer is over. Weather can be pretty unpredictable in the fall, and your hiking adventure will be completely ruined by rain if you come unprepared.

More Flexible Schedule

The worst thing about summer hikes is that you can only do them early in the morning or late in the evening and you have to skip certain trails to avoid sunlight. Fall hikes allow you to be as flexible as you want since you can stay outside all day long.

Wearing Layers

Your hiking wardrobe will change once fall arrives, and wearing multiple, thin layers is the best way to stay safe. You should still have sunscreen and mosquito repellent by your side just in case, especially in the early fall when it’s still sunny most of the time.

]]> Fall is secretly the best season to hit the trails and enjoy nature to the fullest. Here’s a couple of benefits of hiking during this season that probably never crossed your mind.

Perfect Weather

It’s too hot like it is during the summer or too cold like it is during the winter – the temperatures are just right during the fall. Check the weather forecast before heading to the mountains, make sure it’s not going to rain, and you’re good to go!

Amazing Scenery

Being surrounded by nature is always a great way to spend your free time, but you’ll get to enjoy a stunning display of colors during your fall hikes. Nothing tops the radiant mix of red and yellow shades all around you as you explore the woods.

No Crowds

Hiking gives you an opportunity to reconnect with your inner self, and enjoy some peace and quiet. Things can get a little bit tricky when trails are packed with other people, but you won’t have to deal with this during fall, allowing you to hike at your own pace.
