The temperature is dropping, the leaves changing colors and the last outdoor swimming pools have finally closed. It’s official, fall is here. The transition from summer to fall is always a difficult one for me to make, but it’s made easier by all the great things fall brings, college football games, pumpkin treats, ski swaps and beautiful fall foliage.
Fall is also a great time get fit and enjoy the outdoors, and this issue of Outdoor Sports Guide is loaded with information to make your fall fabulous. Like how to use yoga to improve your fitness (pg. 18), affordable fall vacations for the whole family (pg. 21), a backpacking guide to the Grand Canyon’s Havasupai (pg. 10) and more. You’ll also find an updated event calendar and a list of improvements at local ski resorts. But for the latest event and ski resort information, check online at sportsguidemag.com.
