Autumn is a great time for hikes--the beautiful fall colors, the crisp air... Recently we've been visiting some state parks and such around to do some walks with our dog. To inspire you to take a nice fall hike of your own before the snow falls, I've compiled this list of 14 quotes from poets, authors, travelers, and others!
