Maude’s Cedar Narrows Trail is part of Highland Nature Sanctuary Arc of Appalachia. Nice trail that offers a lot of variety. Views from above down to Rocky Fork Creek and also beautiful views at water level. Also, has about 1/2 mile portion through the meadow. The meadow was full of milkweed and some fall wildflowers…..I bet it is gorgeous in the spring.

This is really a GORGEOUS place! Sheldon Marsh State Nature Preserve near Huron allows you to meander through forest trails and paved paths. Overlooks for bird watching perch over the huge marsh areas that lead you to Lake Erie. We saw deer, birds, snakes, and this cool spider.

This 472-acre preserve has 2 miles of trails. It is known to attract nearly 300 bird species and provides habitat for many kinds of wildflowers. Spring is one of the best times to visit the marsh. From the middle of April into June, the woodland floor is said to be covered with blooming wildflowers. Hope to make it back then, too!

I love this picture! It's along Big Pine Creek in Hocking Hills off Big Pine Rd. There are lots of hiking access points in this area with similar views. There are nature preserves, state forest, and permit only parks. This particular spot is on the way back to Big Pine Falls.....no waterfall now though.

Chestnut Ridge Metro Park is a beautiful park in Carroll with 3 miles of wide, maintained trails. Checkout the old orchards and remnant of a homestead on the Homesite Trail or the overlooks and boardwalks on the Ridge Trail. Lots of parking and not too busy, even on a weekend.

Chestnut Ridge is the first ridge in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains. The ridge spans about 4,500 feet and rises to about 1,116 feet.

No pets are permitted on these trails but there is a dog trail in another section of the park.

What is this messy little thing called? Puffball? Earthball? Small little fungus growing in the moss and when it is about to shrivel up you can get a puff of dark smoke (spores?) out of it.

🏟️THEN VS. NOW: The Legendary Ohio Stadium! See the incredible transformation of "The Shoe" from its very first days to the modern powerhouse it is today!

On October 7, 1922, the Ohio State Buckeyes played their first-ever game in this iconic arena, shutting out Ohio Wesleyan 5-0 in front of 25,000 amazed fans. Fullback Johnny Stuart secured his place in history by scoring the stadium's first-ever points with a clutch field goal! 🏈

From 25,000 fans on day one to over 102,000 screaming Buckeyes in 2026, the energy in Columbus has never changed.Go Bucks! 🔴⚪

🤯 FUN FACT: Did you know Ohio Stadium is officially known as "The House That Harley Built"? Universal excitement over OSU’s first three-time All-American running back, Chic Harley, completely outgrew their old stadium. His electric playing style in the late 1910s single-handedly inspired the university to raise over $1 million from fans and alumni to build the massive stadium we love today!

Check out this amazing walk deep into the cave at Highland Nature Sanctuary. It’s a tight squeeze and pitch black! 🔦Bring a flashlight. 👀Touring availability as limited. Check out my post yesterday for tons of details or check their website at Arc of Appalachia.

Video sped up to save your time. You have to walk slow and carefully, there is uneven footing and low clearance.
