October is a great time to get outdoors and explore New Hampshire fall scenery. Take in the beautiful fall colors – reds, pinks, oranges, yellows and greens – as you go on your walk.
Why not visit one or more of the Best Walking Trails in New Hampshire throughout the month? Looking for more trails TrailFinder is another great resource to find trails near you. As you walk and explore, practice some mindfulness techniques by using your five senses: sight, smell, hearing, touch and taste. Breath in the fresh, crisp fall air by taking a breathing moment – this practice is a great way to be fully present in the moment.
Make sure to bring water and healthy snacks with you to keep you hydrated and keep your energy up. Also make sure to protect yourself from ticks and other bugs and wear the proper clothing for that day’s weather. It is always a good idea to dress in layers this time of year.
