Sometimes the rain slows us down just enough to notice the beauty we usually rush past.

The world feels softer, quieter, and more honest when it rains.

Even the messy moments — the muddy boots, the damp air, the change of plans — remind us that adventure isn’t just found in perfect weather… it’s found in how we keep showing up for it. 🌧️🌲

Lately, I’ve been thinking about how different life feels compared to the way it used to be. Somewhere between endless emails, deadlines, notifications, and gas-station coffee runs, we started calling chaos “normal.”

There was a time — maybe not so long ago — when people actually slowed down. When evenings meant front-porch sunsets instead of scrolling. When weekends were for campfires, not catch-up work. When our biggest decision of the day was where to stop for ice cream on the way home, not which meeting to move to make room for another one.

Some days, I can almost hear that simpler world calling again — the one where the road stretched wide, the radio played softly, and the sunset was enough reason to stop everything.

Feeling a lot like selling everything and traveling in an RV — chasing sunsets and sanity. 🌅🚐

🍂 Fall Into Nature’s Classroom 🍂

Autumn isn’t just beautiful—it’s one of the best seasons to learn outdoors. 🍁

✔️ Science in the Sky – Notice how the days are shorter? That’s Earth tilting away from the sun, bringing cooler temps and earlier sunsets.

✔️ Leaves as Teachers – When leaves change color, they’re showing us science in action! Chlorophyll breaks down, revealing the golds, reds, and purples hiding underneath all year.

✔️ Wildlife Wisdom – Squirrels gathering acorns, birds migrating south, deer growing thicker coats… every creature is preparing for winter.

🍎 Try This: Next hike, bring a journal or your phone’s notes app. Jot down 3 things you see, hear, or smell that remind you of fall. It’s a simple way to turn any walk into an adventure in learning.

✨ The Scenic Six invites you to slow down, notice the details, and let fall be your teacher. What’s your favorite fall sign in nature—crisp air, colorful leaves, or cozy sunsets? Share below! 🍂👇

Stargazing in the Fall: A Guide to Celestial Adventures

As the air cools and the skies clear, fall is one of the best times of the year to enjoy stargazing. With longer nights, crisp air, and vibrant autumn landscapes as a backdrop, it’s the perfect season to look up and experience the wonder of the cosmos. Here’s everything you need to make your fall stargazing adventure unforgettable!

Why Stargaze in the Fall?
1. Clear Skies: Cooler temperatures reduce humidity and atmospheric turbulence, making the skies clearer and offering better visibility of stars and planets.
2. Longer Nights: As the days grow shorter, you have more time to enjoy stargazing. Dusk arrives earlier, giving you plenty of evening hours to observe the night sky.
3. Special Celestial Events: Fall is packed with exciting astronomical events, including meteor showers and the visibility of key constellations and planets.

Tips for a Successful Fall Stargazing Experience
1. Choose the Right Location: Find a dark sky location away from city lights. National parks, rural areas, or designated dark-sky preserves are great places to start.

2. Check the Weather: Clear, cloudless nights are ideal for stargazing, so be sure to check the forecast. Apps like "Clear Outside" can help predict stargazing conditions.

3. Dress Warmly: Fall nights can get chilly, especially the later you stay out. Layer up with thermal gear, a hat, gloves, and warm boots to stay comfortable.

4. Bring the Right Gear:
- Binoculars or a Telescope: Binoculars are great for beginners and help you spot more celestial objects. For a closer look, a telescope will reveal incredible details.
- Star Map or App: Use a printed star chart or a stargazing app like "SkyView" or "Star Walk" to identify stars, constellations, and planets.
- Red Flashlight: Preserve your night vision with a red-light flashlight so you can read your star chart without ruining your ability to see the stars.

5. Be Patient: Stargazing is all about slowing down and appreciating the vastness of the universe. Take your time, let your eyes adjust to the dark, and enjoy the peacefulness of the night.

Upcoming Celestial Events in Fall 2024
- Orionid Meteor Shower: October 21-22
- Partial Lunar Eclipse: October 17-18
- Leonid Meteor Shower: November 16-17

Stargazing in the fall offers a magical blend of breathtaking celestial views and tranquil moments in nature. Whether you're a seasoned astronomer or just beginning, this season invites you to step outside, look up, and connect with the stars.

Be sure to share all your astronomy 🔭 photos with us here at The Scenic Six.

Autumn is a magical time for camping and hiking, not just for the colorful foliage but also for the unique wildlife experiences it brings.

Here’s what to look out for and how to stay safe while enjoying nature during this season.

🦌 Deer Activity Increases
During fall, deer are especially active due to mating season (the rut). You may spot more of them while hiking, especially at dawn or dusk. Be mindful of their presence, as bucks can be territorial during this period.

🐻 Bears Preparing for Hibernation
Bears are busy foraging as much as possible in the fall to build up fat for winter hibernation. They might be more visible in camping areas, especially where food is readily available.

🦉 Birdwatching Opportunities
Autumn is a great time to spot migratory birds as they head south for the winter. Hawks, owls, and other birds of prey are also more active, as cooler temperatures make hunting easier. Bring a pair of binoculars as it can make all the difference when observing birds in their fall habitats.

🦡 Small Mammals Gathering Supplies
Squirrels, chipmunks, and other small mammals are busy collecting food for the colder months. You’ll see them scurrying around gathering nuts and seeds. They’re not a threat, but don’t leave food out at your campsite, as it could attract more than just squirrels!

🦊 Foxes and Coyotes Becoming More Active
Foxes and coyotes often increase their activity in the fall as they prepare for the winter months ahead. You may hear foxes barking or coyotes howling in the distance, especially in more remote camping areas.

🐝 Insects Start to Dwindle
The cooler weather means fewer mosquitoes and ticks, making fall one of the best seasons for camping and hiking. However, watch out for bees and wasps, as they’re still active in early fall, looking for food sources before the cold sets in.

🌲✨ Monday Reset, the Scenic Way ✨🌲

Not every Monday has to start with chaos and coffee jitters. Sometimes the best way to reset is to unplug and go outside.

Take a walk in the woods. Breathe in that fresh pine air. Touch some dirt (yes, really).

🪵 This week, let nature be your to-do list:
☑️ Watch a sunrise
☑️ Skip some rocks
☑️ Make s’mores just because

Here’s your reminder that the best kind of productivity is peace. 💚
