The summer heat is behind us and now it’s all cool temps and changing leaves. We love the summer, but now that fall is here we’re ready to settle into all the things that come with it. In addition to the leaves, we’ve got hot apple cider, pumpkin carving and cozy sweaters. Oh, and of course fall hikes! If you meant to tie on your boots this summer but never got around to doing it, it’s not too late! Every week through the end of October, the Squam Lakes Association will be hosting a group hike. This week’s is coming up!
If you want to check out some New Hampshire trails, but aren’t quite confident enough in your ability to strike out on a long one by yourself these organized hikes might be perfect for you.

From now through the end of October, those interested in a group hiking trip are invited to register to hit the trails with other New Hampshirites who love the outdoors.

While this hike is planned for a group, there’s absolutely no pressure to keep up the pace with everyone. If you prefer to move more slowly, that’s great! There’s no guide and no actual “lesson” here so you won’t miss anything if you prefer to stop along the way.
Anne Webster / alltrails.com The most important thing is that you enjoy yourself. You’re also likely to meet others who are interested in hiking. All of this makes these group hikes a wonderful way to spend a few hours of your day before the weather gets too chilly.
