Cuyahoga Falls National Park, Ohio: Ledges Trail

Northern Ohio doesn't seem like the unusual place for a national park. That's probably because often associate the term with the West. Cuyahoga Falls may not be the Grand Canyon or Yellowstone, but that doesn't mean it's not a worthwhile stop on a vacation. 

One of the most popular places in the park for a walk is the Ledges Trail. It takes about 90 minutes to complete the loop, which runs about 1.8 miles. It goes right along the edge of rock formations. Those areas along with tree growth during a hockey are surprisingly interesting. Well, it is a national park.

The website Great American Hikes points out that this is a particularly interesting place to be in the winter. OK, it's kind of cold at times there and snow may mess up footing. But it has a different type of beauty than the one provided by summer. 

Pictured is one of the "natural" staircases along the way. The Ledges Trail is located by the Happy Days Visitor Center, which is off Route 303 near Peninsula and Route 8.

Always a good idea to look around in a national park.
