Fall hiking: Cascade and Three Stage

Fall might be my favourite time to hike around here. Summer can get hot and busy, but once fall hits, the trails quiet down, the air is cooler and the colours are incredible.

Two I keep coming back to are Cascade at Blue Mountain, which I just did recently, and Three Stage. They're such a good way to get outside and enjoy this time of year before the leaves disappear.

My tip: go on a weekday if you can, bring a coffee for after and take your time.
