You’ll be amazed at how many stars you can see when there’s no light pollution. Grab a cozy blanket and enjoy the quiet of the night sky.
Things to Keep in Mind:
-
Stay Hydrated: It’s not the blistering heat yet, but even on these mild days, the dry air can make you thirsty. If you’re out and about, especially while hiking or biking, be sure to bring a water bottle. Staying hydrated is key to enjoying your day outdoors.
-
Layer Up for the Evening: While the day will be nice and warm, the evenings can still get pretty cool. So, if you’re planning to stay out after dark, bring a light jacket or sweater to keep comfortable.
-
Don’t Skip Sunscreen: Even though it’s not super hot, the sun is still strong. Protect your skin with some sunscreen, especially if you’re going to be outside for a while. It’s an easy step to take, but it makes a big difference.
