Cuyahoga Valley National Park







- Posted using BlogPress from my iPad



Today we spent the day exploring Cuyahoga Valley National Park just south of Cleveland, Ohio. This area was first named a National Park in 2000. No wonder I didn't know about this place until I started reading my National Park book.

We walked on part of the towpath trail, which runs the length of the park--22 miles, visited two of the waterfalls in the park, stopped at several of the visitor's center and read a lot about the incredible history of this place. The
canal that runs through the park had working locks back in the 1800's.

The middle picture above shows the remains of one of the locks. That's Ethan walking on the edge of the lock. The bottom picture shows Brandywine Falls behind us. What a beautiful place!

We had a great day, and now Ethan is sleeping in the recliner in our hotel room. Time to rest up for the next adventure!
