Fall Hiking Safety Tips

As summer fades from memory, your hiking doesn't have to. But you'll want to pack some extra caution into your backpack.

Shorter days, colder nights and quickly-changing weather can make even a simple day hike more risky than your average summer excursion. Be prepared out there.

Hike of the week

Royal Basin fall 150

Royal Basin

Gone are the crowds that flock to this picturesque basin above the Dungeness River in summer. Gone too are the wildflowers, but in their place is a tranquil carpet of fall color and rewarding long day hike or overnight.

Expect towering trees, crashing creeks, alpine meadows and Royal Lake ringed by two huge mountains.
