Presented by Just because summer has ended, doesn't mean the fun has to stop! Fall is absolutely wonderful: it's never TOO hot, and you aren't freezing your feet off yet. That's why it's important for you to soak up all that fall has to offer, especially since this season passes by quickly. While the rustic colours are in full bloom, here's a complete list of ways you can make the most out of your autumn season and get the best bang for your buck. Grab your besties and loved ones because you'll love these activities! Take A Weekend Road Trip Through The Autumn Foliage Why You Should Do It: This is probably the most iconic way to enjoy the Canadian landscape as it goes from green to gold/orange/red gorgeousness. There's something magical about driving through the fall foliage... and while you're at it, turning your road trip into a mini weekend spa/resort staycation isn't a half bad idea, either. If you’re an AIR MILES Collector, you’ll even be able to get and use your Miles when you book vacations through Redtag.ca. Otherwise, fueling up at your nearest Shell gas station will allow you to get and use your Miles on gas and the road trip snack essentials you’ll need for those long drives.

Staying in is the antithesis of going out and enjoying fall, right? Well, no, not at all! After a hot summer full of outdoor activities, there's nothing more refreshing than staying cozied up inside on a particularly chilly fall night — except maybe feasting on a creation you're bound to love! Fall is particularly prime for cooking since that's when all the best ingredients (pumpkin, squash, apples, c'mon!) make their long-awaited appearance. So head to your local grocery store, like Safeway, and get those delicious fall ingredients for your favourite comfort foods like soups and roasts. Don’t forget to bring your AIR MILES Card, so you can get Miles while grabbing what you need — and start planning your winter escape! View this post on Instagram Happy Tuesday everyone!

First of all, it's the perfect day-date for you and your S/O. Imagine walking the beautiful apple trails with a nice, cool breeze. Don't worry if you don't have a bae, it can be a family-friendly or bestie date, too! Plus, you can use those apples for a wide variety of things: apple butter, pie, turnovers — the sky's the limit!

So ditch those sandals for boots and swap your rompers for chunky knits! (Pumpkin-)spicing up your wardrobe might seem like it costs a pretty penny, but shopping smart and getting Miles for online shopping you were doing anyway through airmilesshops.ca which gets you Miles that might go towards more rewards in the future, is definitely the move!

If you're not afraid of heights, or if you're looking to steamroll through your fear, this could be a really awesome activity, and the perfect way to experience the fall foliage in a new and exciting way!
