Today is National Take a Hike Day, a great reminder to slow down and try to enjoy some fresh air.
This is a busy time throughout much of Michigan's outdoors, so if you're taking to trails be sure to dress visibly and remember to be courteous of others out there.

As birds continue their fall migration, be sure to help our feathered friends. Turning off non-essential lights during migration season can lessen the harmful impacts of light pollution.
