For a lot of people, fall means pumpkin spice lattes, apple picking and hayrides. To others, all of that sounds about as enjoyable as listening to a Nickelback album on repeat ... for three straight months.
Fall in The Land means we hit that sweet spot in the weather — that perfect middle point between flip flops at Indians games and parkas at Browns games. Truly one of the best times of the year to visit the Cleveland region, the average season temp is around 60 degrees with the most vivid fall colors in mid-October.
If that wasn't eough, here are four more reasons to visit Cleveland this fall ...

Fall in Cleveland means the potential for all three of our professional sports teams to be playing (let's go, Tribe!). On top of that, the Cleveland Monsters, our American Hockey League affiliate, drop the puck on their season. So, there's a lot happening around town, including the always popular Cleveland Beer Week and the Bourbon and Bacon Fest (you're welcome). Plan your getaway around these happenings.
After a fall weekend in CLE - which likely consists of football watching, bar hopping and clam baking - your body will be in dire need of three important remedies: (1) water, (2) ibuprofen and (3) exercise. While you're on your own for the first two, Cleveland has a host of fresh-air cardio options by way of hiking trails. Check out five of our favorites here.

The best part of fall is football. There. We said it. If you know anything about Cleveland, you know that it's home to some of the most passionate fans in the world. So regardless of whether you're partying at the Muni Lot or in the Dawg Pound, Browns games can get pretty rowdy. Here's how to do it like a Clevelander.

We're not going to say that all you should do during your fall visit to CLE is drink great beer - we're also not saying that you shouldn't. Truth is, enjoying the craft beer scene is an added perk to just about every component of your visit - whether you're sipping one at a Browns tailgate or inside an actual brewery. Check out some of the fall editions churning out of Cleveland's brew scene.
