OK, I just couldn't pass commenting on this totally fun way to tie Halloween into hiking.
In Louisville, KY their Metro Park is having a Zombie Hike on Oct. 22 where folks can dress up to participate in a costume contest, hike through their 'undead forest', stay for a campfire and s'mores, and even watch 'Night of the Living Dead'.
I expect the movie crowd will be older, but what a fun and scary evening combining some exercise with spooks.

Woodstock IL, Fond du Lac WI, Garden City NY, Glen Rose TX, Westland MI are just some of many communities holding similar Halloween Hikes around the country.

I bet there's probably an opportunity in your community to get out and hike, besides just walking house to house asking for candy. Check your local Park & Rec, community center, or town hall.
