Ahhh! The Fall is here, and with it, comes beautiful cool, crisp weather and the warm, rich tones of the trees changing colors. The summer is over and the harvest season is upon us. Farmer's Markets are beginning to empty their stocks to eager buyers willing to can, preserve, and freeze the last bit of summer. While still others are heading out to the mountains for a hike through the Aspens in full bloom and quaking with the breezes that blow through their leaves.
For Northern Colorado Outdoors, the Fall means getting outdoors and taking a drive over Independence Pass or heading up to Estes Park for Elk Fest on October 4th. It means going for mountain bike rides and hikes and heading to the farm to help with the fall harvest. More than anything, Fall means a time to join together as a community and get ready for the colder months ahead. We begin to look for things to do indoors and find more time to spend with friends and visiting relatives.
As a smaller community within the larger community of Fort Collins, we are indeed lucky to live in a place with so many options for the changing seasons. With Fort Collins situated at the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, we have lakes and streams and rivers as well as forests of Aspens and Pines. All of which change with each season that passes.
Our diverse landscape is just one of the benefits of living in this community. We have a University that not only holds our academic programs, but also provides our community with art and culture. The University gives us a Fall sports lineup with Football at the forefront, and it has helped us thrive as an agricultural community so that our harvest season really does mean something.
All in all, the changing seasons is an exciting time. It marks the end of the hot, lazy summer days and the beginning of preparations for the shorter days of winter, the beginning of the holiday season, and the beginning of a new school year. Northern Colorado Outdoors is opening up this new beginning and inviting everyone to a few of our fall events this October. You can find our Fort Collins Brewery Tour on Bikes as well as a hike at Pawnee Buttes National Grasslands and our October Meet and Greet all open to the public! If you haven't been to a Northern Colorado Outdoors' event this Fall, join us this month and find out how much fun it is to be active outdoors!
