Technically, summer is over. But nobody tell October, OK?
Temperate, enjoyable weather can last well into autumn. Trick or treaters will tell you that the first real cold blast usually hits right around October 31. Before then, get your fill of apple-picking, hayrides and s’mores.
That hot-cold weather dichotomy is exactly what makes the fall hiking and cycling scenery so spectacular. Enjoy autumn hues throughout the Cleveland Metroparks Emerald Necklace and the Cuyahoga Valley National Park, or branch out for a trek on the immersive Canopy Walk at Holden Arboretum.
Sure, you could encounter some sleet and snow, but you won’t need peak winter gear for a while, so pack a perfectly coordinated ensemble and get that holiday card-worthy shot while you can.
