Get Outside: Top Outdoor Activities for Spring

Does Spring have you down? This time of year is a wonderful opportunity to get outdoors and enjoy the warmer weather and blooming nature. Here are some fun and exciting outdoor activities the Point6 team recommends to help you connect with nature and avoid the blues this mud season:

Hiking: Explore local trails and parks to witness the beauty of spring blooms and budding foliage. Be sure to avoid wet and muddy trails, but if you do find yourself with wet feet you'll be happy you're wearing your favorite Merino wool socks.

Picnicking: Pack a basket with your favorite snacks and head to a scenic spot for a picnic with friends or family. Relax and enjoy the peace and serenity of nature. Cool and wet weather can put a damper on your fun so be sure you layer up in your favorite merino wool apparel.

Gardening: Start a garden or tend to existing plants to enjoy the therapeutic benefits of gardening while watching your flowers and vegetables grow.

Biking: Take a bike ride along designated bike paths or explore new areas on two wheels. Stick the roads until trail conditions dry out to avoid extensive erosion on your favorite single track.

Birdwatching and Wildlife spotting: Spring is a prime time for bird migrations, making it an excellent opportunity to observe a variety of bird species. Keep an eye out for native wildlife such as deer, squirrels, rabbits, and more while exploring natural areas.

Camping: Set up a tent and spend a night under the stars, either at a designated campground or in your backyard. If you live in or near the mountains, spring is an excellent time to head to the desert or lower elevation terrain for excellent conditions before the summer heat arrives. Be prepared for warm days and cool evenings around the fire—perfect for cozy merino wool base layers, hoodies and joggers.

Kayaking or canoeing: Paddle along rivers, lakes, or coastal areas to enjoy the serene beauty of nature from the water. As the snow melts, runoff will bring high water to your favorite rivers and streams. Always dress appropriately and take proper precautions to be safe around extremely cold and high water.

Rock climbing: Challenge yourself with outdoor rock climbing adventures, either at local climbing spots or organized climbing areas.

Outdoor yoga: Practice yoga or meditation in a park or garden to connect with nature and rejuvenate your mind and body.

Frisbee or disc golf: Have fun tossing a Frisbee or playing a round of disc golf in a park or open field with friends.

Stargazing: Spend an evening under the night sky, identifying constellations and watching for shooting stars during clear spring nights. Be ready for the cool, crisp evening air with cozy Point6 base layers and apparel.

Remember to check the weather forecast and any local regulations or restrictions before exploring your favorite outdoor playgrounds. Always prioritize safety while having fun outdoors and always wear your favorite Point6 Merino wool socks!
