Bundle up and get going --adventures and a whole new year are in front of you!

If you’re looking for a healthy and refreshing w.ay to kick off 2023, how about enjoying the great outdoors with a “first day hike" (or walk if that's more your speed.) 
​

Hundreds of free, guided hikes will be organized in all 50 states on New Year's Day for a "first day hike," but just because DC hasn't gained that elusive statehood stamp doesn't mean you have to miss out. Where there's a will, there's a way and there are plenty of great places to get out and enjoy a peaceful winter walk. 

​
Of course, there's always Rock Creek Park, but let us introduce you to nine less obvious, but still awesome, places.

Six Places to Have a Pumpkin & Apple Picking Good Time Near DC

Did someone say cider doughnuts? Get ready for this fall tradition with corn mazes, hayrides and more! 
Picture
You can feel it in the air . . . fall is almost here!

It's absolutely my favorite season!  I LOVE the changing leaves, the return of pumpkin spice everything and the falling temperatures. I'm sooo over DC’s heat and humidity. I also have very fond memories of visiting my godfather in Michigan and picking pumpkins and crisp, delicious apples at a neighboring farm.
​

Luckily, you don’t have to go all the way to Michigan to experience this fabulous fall tradition. You can find plenty of pumpkins and apples at the always incredible Eastern Market or one of the many local farmers markets,  but there are many legit farms within driving distance where you can pick your own pumpkins and apples for a real-deal farm experience.

​Whether you're looking for a family-friendly experience with hayrides and other bells and whistles, or a no frills farm visit, you'll find the perfect one to visit from the six we've scouted. 

Did we forget your favorite? Let us know!
