Glamping mixes camping and glamorous accommodations to create the ultimate wilderness experience. While glamping can be enjoyed year-round, there’s nothing like the charm of the fall season. The beautiful foliage and cooler temperatures set the scene for unforgettable adventures to be enjoyed with the whole family. Read on to discover the many fall activities you can try this coming season, from hiking to stargazing.
Exploring the Great Outdoors
The wilderness is yours to explore any time of the year, but nothing can beat the spectacular views offered by fall’s foliage. Here’s how you can enjoy the outdoors this fall:
Hiking and Nature Walks
Hiking during the fall season is nothing short of magical. The trails are vibrant with colours as leaves turn bright shades of red, orange, and yellow. Each of our glamping locations offers unique fall spectacles, from the majestic Rocky Mountain views of our Castle Provincial Park resort to the endless prairie vistas of our Saskatchewan Landing and Buffalo Pound Lake resorts. Remember to bring a camera or smartphone to capture the stunning landscapes and perhaps even wildlife you encounter along the way.
Wildlife Watching
Fall is perhaps the best time for wildlife watching, as many animals are actively preparing for the coming winter months. Deer, foxes, and various birds are all busy and can often be seen foraging in the early morning or late afternoon. Be sure to come prepared with a good set of binoculars and a field guide to help you identify different species. Ensure you maintain a safe and respectful distance from any wildlife and follow guidelines provided by the park or resort. It is especially important for visitors to the Castle region to carry bear spray at all times.
Cozy Campfire Activities
When the day is over and you want to relax, there’s nothing like a nice roaring campfire, and there’s a lot to do around a campfire during cooler fall evenings.
Campfire Cooking
Campfire cooking is an essential part of the glamping experience, especially in the fall. The crisp autumn air and the warmth of a crackling fire set the perfect scene for enjoying hearty, comforting meals. From simple campfire recipes like foil packet dinners to the more adventurous gourmet campfire recipes, be sure to finish it off with classic smores. Add a fall twist by using cinnamon graham crackers and pumpkin spice marshmallows.
Storytelling and Stargazing
The ambiance of a campfire naturally enhances any storytelling experience. Share ghost stories, personal anecdotes, or even local legends. After the stories, or even during, turn your eyes to the sky for some stargazing. The fall season often brings clearer skies, making it easier to spot constellations, planets, and even shooting stars. Stargazing in the fall not only provides a breathtaking view but also a serene and reflective end to your day.
