Who else here has autumn as their fave season?
>September is perfect weather wise. Not too hot, not too cold, never any extremes in September where I'm from. Sun sets at a good time not too early, not too late
>October has Halloween
>November has Thanksgiving

I like it, but I have done a bunch of hikes that ended up getting dark near the end - so the daylight issue does become a thing. I've never really tried harder, expedition-type hiking in winter so this will be an experiment for me.

Fall is clearly the best /out/ season, at least in Ontario.

>no more bugs
>no longer too hot and humid to move
>not too cold either
>beauty peaks with the colour changes

The only downside is the shorter days.

Late spring and early summer for me. Southern OR; so it’s still relatively dry, longer days, not too hot etc.
Autumn would be better if not for the endless rain (or if the trees changed color)

I'm with you OP. The air getting cool and crisp in the fall feels perfect. It's the most nostalgic season for me by far.
In my head, it's kind of like the real New Year too.
I mean, I associate the calendar "new year" as starting in Jan, but for most of my life, major life changes happened around September: new school years, moved to totally new places a few times in September, started some a couple of relationships around September. Just the usual time of year that I'm starting a new chapter in life.
There's also a relief of summer being over where I live now (New England). I like summer, but here it's so seasonal that it's go, go, go all summer and you're exhausted by the end of it.

Late fall in New England is the greatest season. The smell of the air, the colors of the trees, the cool air, the sunsets, fresh cider from the farm stands. I spent the first 25 years of my life there, and I might spend the last 25 there if I’m lucky enough.

At least here in September the days aren't short, sun starts setting at 7 and it's dark by 8 and that's fine by me. Early October is when it gets brutal due to daylight savings so its setting at 6 and dark by 7. Then November it really starts to hit and its dark by 6.

There's definitely a toned downness to September that I like.

It used to be my favorite when I lived in Georgia. Summers are hot and humid and while the winters aren't harsh, it's still cold and bland outside. Spring could be nice but the pollen is insane. Even if you don't have allergies, it coats everything. You can't open your window to enjoy the fresh spring air because it comes with a yellow cloud that gets into everything. That leaves autumn to pick up the crown.
Now that I live in the Midwest, the pollen isn't bad and by the time spring rolls around, I have cabin fever and am looking forward to getting out. Autumn is nice here and provides some relief from the summer heat but that heat isn't really all the bad nor does it last very long.
This corny video explains seasons in the south pretty well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SCA7DO5EcBQ

I prefer early autumn to late autumn. When the weather's not too bad. It's not exactly sweater weather but not exactly short sleeve weather either. Then sometimes there's that crisp chill in the air.

It's the season for baking potatoes in the campfire, picking apples, tasting this year's plum brandy, brewing good tea, wearing hoodies, and enjoying long shadows, mud, fog, and golden leaves.

September was nice but now it's getting chilly in the morning. I leave my house at 6am to hit the trail by 8. I'm starting to have to bring extra layers that become useless an hour in as my body and the air both warm up.
>inb4 stop being a pussy
I'm not going out in shorts and a t-shirt at 38F

i love autumn, it's my favorite season, but i spend a lot of time /out/ in the mountains and alpine autumn feels even shorter than alpine spring... like a week or two lol. it gets a lot harder having to worry about snow on roads and avvy danger. i'd like to do an autumn or early winter overnight this year anyway, i'll probably just stick to a lower elevation even though my gear should be good down to 10F or so.

Be bold start cold
For me any additional layers are too much like 10 minutes in lol, assuming I'm gaining elevation. I hike in a t shirt in freezing weather but I realize I hike very warm.

I love autumn when it doesn't rain. Which is about 3 days per autumn.

Is anyone doing anything sp00ky for Halloween weekend? Just for fun. It's a great time of year and season for wandering the woods at night or doing a cemetery chase or whatever. Anyone here have the Halloween spirit?

I'm two months late, but lakes region, whites, or the coast for NH. I don't know Maine as well. Acadia's gorgeous. Been other spots that are very nice. But my experience in Maine is it feels like NH except you have to drive two hours in between everything.

If you're going 95 into Maine and want a short (30m-1hr) hike with comfy views, Mt. Agamenticus is 10 minutes off the highway. You can even drive to the top. Top's like a little park. Nice view of mountains in the distance in one direction, ocean on the other side.
