hiking in the cuyahoga valley national park: Hiking the Towpath Trail in the Cuyahoga Valley National Park - 05/16/10 08:02 PM
My friend Glen and I continued our 9 mile hike today on the Towpath Trail in the Cuyahoga Valley National Park (CVNP).
The first half of the hike was on the Buckeye Trail.
The towpath trail is flat, hard packed gravel, about six feet wide and is used by walkers, hikers coming from the Buckeye Trail, bicycle riders, as well as runners.
Enjoy!

hiking in the cuyahoga valley national park: Hiking the Buckeye Trail in the Cuyahoga Valley National Park - 05/16/10 06:33 PM
My friend Glen and I took a 9 mile hike today on both the Buckeye Trail and the Towpath Trail in the Cuyahoga Valley National Park (CVNP).
This post will have a few photos of a section of the Buckeye Trail from Vaughn Road down to Boston Mills Road.
The old saying: A bad day on the golf course is better than a good day at the office -- substitute hiking on the CVNP trails is always that way, but today was spectacular in the mid-60s, some sun and clouds, and a great day to enjoy one of our nation's national … (0 comments)

hiking in the cuyahoga valley national park: Post 2 of 2 of a hike on the Towpath Trail in the Cuyahoga Valley National Park - 10/18/09 10:54 PM
My previous post today described the fun we had while hiking and walking 7-miles along The Towpath Trail in the Cuyahoga Valley National Park from Rockside Road to Station Road.
Here are a few more photos so I hope you enjoy them and your Sunday was as fun as mine was -- that is...errr...until I watched our beloved and hapless Cleveland Browns get slaughtered for the umteenth and consecutive time by the Pittsburg Steelers.  Oh well...one out of two ain't bad as the saying goes.

hiking in the cuyahoga valley national park: A Hike on The Towpath Trail in the Cuyahoga Valley National Park - 10/18/09 10:23 PM
My friend Glen and I took another hike in the Cuyahoga Valley National Park (CVNP) today.  This time, we decided to hike solely on the Towpath Trail, which parallels the Cuyahoga River.  We started at Rockside Road and ended up 7 miles later at Station Road in Brecksville.  Along the way, we saw two blue herons, dozens of woolly bears, anglers scouting for steelhead trout -- one angler said he caught a 30" steelhead trout the day before. 
We stopped at the Canal Visitor Center and learned about the history of the valley, dating back some 10,000 years.
We saw the … (5 comments)

hiking in the cuyahoga valley national park: A Day in the Brecksville Reservation and Cuyahoga Valley National Park - 06/14/09 11:30 PM
Last weekend (it took me a week to recuperate and write this post! :-)...my friend Glen and I decided to take a long hike through the Brecksville Reservation and the Cuyahoga Valley National Park.  While we take hikes frequently (we try for once a week), this one was both a lot of fun and very tiring as it ended up being over 11 miles.  Glen has a GPS that would allow the Dominoes Pizza guy to find us in the middle of nowhere.  While Glen would make an eagle scout proud (hint: if I were ever to get stuck on a … (0 comments)

hiking in the cuyahoga valley national park: Hiking in the Cuyahoga Valley National Park and Brecksville Reservation - 03/15/09 04:17 PM
I took a hike yesterday with a friend of mine, Glen, in the Cuyahoga Valley National Park (see my sledding post here) and at times, in the Brecksville Reservation (see the trail map).
Best of all, we could walk from our own homes into the park.  I took my black labrador retriever, and the three of us had a very relaxing two hour hike.
While I didn't take my camera, I plan to take photos when we go out again.  We saw two waterfalls, one small, and one about 20' high.  Shale bed creeks, and compressed rock formations that look as … (0 comments)
