On The Cover October 2019

In many parts of our country, summer warmth has turned into crisp, cool fall weather. However, in the Southwest, we have an extended season of time to spend in and on the water and to enjoy many other outdoor activities.

It's a wonderful transition season with temperatures neither too hot nor too cold, and there are so many adventures for us still in October: boating, hiking, RVing, camping, off-roading, fishing, and more.

If we want a touch of fall, we can head north to the awesome colors of autumn in the high country and enjoy many activities still available in those cooler climes.

It's up to us, but the bottom line is this: Celebrate your options in the wonderful outdoors of the Southwest. "Staying indoors" is for another time, another place.
