I would suggest you get your family out to have some fun in the Rocky Mountains before winter comes. This is just what everyone needs to get your minds off the US presidential election.
This election cycle has been absolutely crazy and overwhelming in all respects. It is easy to get completely bombarded by it and lose your sense of perspective. Please remember that the natural world is still moving on and doing its thing as if the election never happened. Here are a bunch of fun things that you can do to get past the election and return to family fun in the Rocky Mountains.

Just keep in mind the time of year and that areas higher up in the mountains may be much colder than where you live. Here are some good tips for fall hiking that can be applied to any outdoor fun in the fall.

Fishing in the Rocky Mountains
If you live in the Rocky Mountains, then you can get out and do some fishing this fall before it becomes too cold. Fall fishing can still be good as the fish are pretty active and trying to eat a lot of food before winter comes.
