No pets, pleaseWe will start up the big hill at the trailhead and be on hilly terrain for a few miles before heading to the meadows and hiking the flat trails along the Little Miami River. Since we will pass by the trail head more than once you can make the hike shorter if you want.
If rain/storms/high winds are in the forecast I may cancel. Please check here for updates before heading out.
Dress for the weather, and wear sturdy shoes, as there might be mud on the trails. Hiking poles are helpful but not necessary. Bring plenty of water.
