WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE FALL ADVENTURE? “

It has been my experience that a walk in the woods makes everything just a little bit better. Getting outside, breathing in fresh air and escaping from the screens and distractions of daily life is a great prescription for a dose of serenity during both good times and bad (even more so during the latter).

So, when it comes to planning how to spend fall weekends, I begin with eyeing parks and trails that promise to immerse me in the season of changing leaves and golden days. Be it at northeast Ohio’s Cuyahoga Valley National Park — a frequent destination — or others I have yet to visit, afternoon outdoor adventures are always part of my plans.

When it comes to spending time outside, this issue is filled with places that make for a great fall getaway, from the famous, waterfall-filled gorge of New York’s Watkins Glen State Park (the Gorge Trail is open to hikers through late October) to the 60,000-acre expanse of Forbes State Forest in Pennsylvania’s Laurel Highlands region.

This issue also features bourbon and beer cheese trails in Kentucky, Canada’s biggest museum and train excursions through the mountains of West Virginia. What adventures await you this season?
