Fall in Reno, NV, is a magical time of year. The crisp air, vibrant leaves, and snow-dusted mountain peaks set the perfect backdrop for outdoor adventures. Whether you're hiking scenic trails, enjoying pumpkin spice treats, or preparing for ski season, fall offers endless opportunities to embrace the great outdoors.
Our family, including our adventurous dogs Kiki and Rambo, makes it a point to explore Reno’s natural beauty every week. Recently, we visited Cottonwood Park, Thomas Creek Trail, and White Creek Trail, three of our top spots for fall exploration.
Cottonwood Park: A Riverside Retreat
Nestled along the Truckee River, Cottonwood Park is a serene spot to enjoy fall’s beauty. The golden hues of cottonwood trees reflecting on the water create a postcard-perfect scene. The paved paths make it an excellent option for a relaxing walk with your pets. Kiki and Rambo loved meeting other dogs while we soaked in the peaceful atmosphere.
Thomas Creek Trail: A Forest Wonderland
For those seeking a bit more adventure, Thomas Creek Trail offers a moderate hike through pine and aspen forests. The trail's fall foliage is absolutely breathtaking, with shades of yellow, orange, and red lighting up the path. We recommend starting early to enjoy the quiet serenity and catch the morning sunlight filtering through the trees.
White Creek Trail: A Scenic Fall Journey
White Creek Trail is another must-visit spot, especially during the fall. This well-paved dirt trail follows the creek and winds up ridges, offering stunning views of the surrounding landscape. The highlight of our hike was the vibrant fall colors—the leaves glowed in brilliant shades of yellow and amber, making it feel like we were walking through a painting. Kiki and Rambo loved exploring the trail and sniffing the fresh autumn air, adding to the joy of our adventure.
Gear Up with Tactical Choice Plus
For these adventures, I wore our newly released Women's Essential Leggings, and he chose the Tactical BDU Pants paired with the Moisture Wicking T-Shirt in Midnight Camo. Both outfits provided exceptional comfort, breathability, and mobility, making them ideal for long hikes. These items are highly recommended for anyone looking to explore Reno’s trails this fall.
