Your 5 p.m. @TCTrail outing is about to look very different. 👀 Late October means earlier darkness. On a shared trail, being seen matters just as much as seeing where you’re going. Add one more check before heading out: Can people see me? #TransCanadaTrail #TrailSmart

🌅 Autumn has a way of shortening our @TCTrail time. Before heading out, check the sunset, leave a little earlier and pack a flashlight or headlamp... just in case. The best trail adventures end safely, with plans to come back. 📷: @CelticShores by Marc Johnson #TrailSmart

🍂 Start in daylight. 🌙 End in the dark. Ah yes, fall on the @TCTrail. 😅 The views are spectacular, the air is crisp… and somehow sunset keeps sneaking up on us. Anyone else getting caught off guard by those early fall sunsets? 🙋 #TransCanadaTrail #FallOnTheTrail

On this day in 1998, a @TCTrail pavilion opened on Granville Island, BC, carrying the names of people who helped build the Trail’s future. ❤️ That spirit of giving lives on. What will your Trail legacy be? Explore ways to give: brnw.ch/21x6lNc 📷: Claudia Laroye

Well… nobody told the @TCTrail the Great Canadian Hike was over. 🍂😉 The leaves are still putting on a show, and there are plenty of reasons to get outside. Because it’s #NotJustATrail, it’s where ordinary days become adventures. See you out there! 🍁 #TransCanadaTrail
