Nothing beats the change from hot summer weather to a crisp fall day. The cooler air, changing leaves, the peacefulness of nature, and the crunch of dried leaves underfoot are all calling cards for a long hike.

You should not be sidelined by discomfort. While there is no magical fix, there are strategies that can help reduce swelling and achiness on those long fall hikes. A very effective treatment and prevention strategy is compression socks!
