Fall in Rhode Island is all-too-short. Soon the ground will freeze over and we’ll start huddling inside under blankets – so let’s make the most of the beautiful autumn foliage and crisp, cool air while it lasts. Fall is the perfect time to hike, and these hikes are short and totally doable – plus they will reward you with beautiful views.
