Hay lugares en el mundo donde la Tierra no se molesta en esconder sus secretos. Y la comarca del Sobrarbe es uno de ellos. En el Geoparque Sobrarbe-Pirineos están registrados los últimos 550 millones de años de la historia de la Tierra. Un libro de grandes plegamientos y cabalgamientos, rocas de todo tipo, fósiles únicos, profundos cañones, glaciares y cuevas. Nosotros venimos a leer ese libro, pero a pie, con las botas puestas, subiendo a sus cimas. **Día 1** \- Empezamos con el pico sorpresa\. Os doy una pista: al borde del abismo de Añisclo\. Una cumbre que no alcanza los dos mil metros pero que resulta enormemente gratificante por las panorámicas que ofrece: al noroeste, el macizo de Monte Perdido con el Cilindro de Marboré, el Pico de Añisclo y las Tres Marías. La sensación es de estar suspendido sobre el vacío con la espectacular caída de casi 1000 metros hasta el fondo del cañón. !Pa flipar! **Día 2** \- La segunda mañana la arrancamos desde los pies del monasterio de San Beturián\, con la Peña Montañesa recortada contra el cielo como una amenaza calcárea\. Con sus 2.291 metros de altitud, esta cumbre emblemática del Pirineo aragonés, forma parte de un gran cabalgamiento que afecta a todo el Macizo de Cotiella, y cuyo desplazamiento se ha calculado en unos 40 kilómetros hacia el sur. Un balcón sobre 45 millones de años de historia. Senderos abruptos entre encinas, boj y pinos negros retorcidos tomándose el viento demasiado en serio y un tramo final de subida sin contemplaciones, piedras sueltas y acantilados escarpados. Bajamos con las piernas satisfechas y el cerebro lleno de pliegues. Aínsa espera, y con ella una mesa bien puesta, un vino de Somontano y la agradable certeza de que mañana toca otra cumbre. **Día 3** \- El último día es el más teatral\. Situado en pleno corazón del Sobrarbe\, la majestuosa mole rocosa del Castillo Mayor constituye un mirador prominente en todas las direcciones: la Peña Montañesa, el Posets y el Aneto hacia el este, la Sierra de Tendeñera hacia el oeste y la Sierra de Guara al sur. Su nombre no es metáfora: la montaña tiene forma de fortaleza inexpugnable por el norte, con verticales paredones calcáreos, pero nuestra vía sube por el sur, aprovechando el característico sinclinal, esa curvatura de las capas de roca que se doblan hacia adentro. Tres días, tres cimas, 550 millones de años y la prueba de que a veces no hace falta subir muy alto para entender la belleza del caos con toda claridad. 🏰 Nuestro cuartel general serán dos villas en un centro de vacaciones cerca de Ainsa, con fácil acceso al pantano de Mediano y vistas a la Peña Montañesa. **🔗 DETALLES TÉCNICOS** **👣 DÍA 1 (Sábado 23/05) • Pico Sorpresa 🍄‍🟫** \- Ruta circular de 10\,5 km \- Desnivel de subida 850 m **👣 DÍA 2 (Domingo 24/05) • Peña Montañesa** \- Ruta semicircular de 12 km \- Desnivel de subida: 1230 m **👣 DÍA 3 (Lunes 25/05) • Castillo Mayor y Peña l’Ombre** \- Ruta circular de 13\,2 km \- Desnivel de subida: 950 m 🏋️ Dificultad: **MEDIA-ALTA**. Desnivel considerable, tramos con piedra descompuesta que requiere atención y tramos donde se tienen que usar las manos 🧗‍♂️Rutas **NO** **APTAS** para gente con miedo a las alturas. 🐺Ruta **APTAS** para perros. 🔔 Todo participante asume que está en condiciones de hacer la excursión y debe comunicar cualquier dolencia que pueda afectar al desarrollo óptimo de la actividad. 🔔 La ruta puede sufrir cambios acorde con las condiciones meteorológicas y estado del terreno (nieve, ríos con mucho caudal, etc). 📣Aviso: en caso de baja de ultima hora (menos de 96 horas) la persona que se dé de baja tendrá que pagar el importe de la excursión y del transporte (si no va en su propio coche).

**History** The history of [Blendon Woods Metro Park](https://www.metroparks.net/parks-and-trails/blendon-woods/) began long before its 1951 opening, rooted in a landscape of rugged ridges and deep ravines that made the land unsuitable for traditional farming. In 1945, a report proposing a metropolitan park system for Franklin County specifically highlighted these cliffs of Bedford Shale as some of the "wildest land in the vicinity". Following this recommendation, the recently formed park district purchased the first 229 acres in early 1949. Because the terrain was so uneven, developers had to cut a mile-and-a-half-long roadway through dense woods just to bring in heavy equipment. This initial preservation effort ensured that the mature second-growth hardwood forests remained largely untouched by the urban expansion spreading toward Westerville. Opening day arrived on Labor Day, September 3, 1951, marking Blendon Woods as the second park in the Columbus and Franklin County Metro Parks system. The final push to open was a frantic race; the State Highway Department only finished the primary gravel access road four days before the gates opened. Early staff members, consisting of just four full-time employees, had to hand-dig pit toilets and learn construction skills on the fly to build the first picnic shelters. Despite the dusty conditions and limited facilities, the park was an immediate success, drawing massive crowds from across Central Ohio. By the end of the 1950s, annual visitation had already climbed to over 190,000 people. As the surrounding suburbs grew in the 1960s, the park faced severe overcrowding that threatened its natural habitats. In response, Franklin County voters passed the first Metro Parks levy in 1960, providing the funds necessary for a decade of steady expansion. During this era, the park nearly doubled in size, growing from 264 acres to over 570 acres by 1968. Planners also addressed a critical water shortage by collaborating with the U.S. Soil and Conservation Service to build a lake in 1964. This body of water originally served as a temporary reservoir before its role shifted toward conservation and wildlife support. The 1970s marked a transition toward the specialized wildlife and educational focus for which the park is known today. In 1971, the Walden Waterfowl Refuge was established around the 11-acre Thoreau Lake, creating a sanctuary that remains restricted to provide a quiet habitat for migratory birds. A formal nature center was also developed during this period, expanding on the guided Sunday walks that had been a park staple since the early 1950s. The park’s famous "Monarch Mansion" also became a prominent fixture, starting a long tradition of raising and releasing thousands of monarch butterflies each September. These initiatives cemented the park’s reputation as a premier destination for birders and nature enthusiasts. In more recent decades, Blendon Woods has continued to modernize while maintaining its wilderness character. The 10-acre Natural Play Area was added in 2017, encouraging kids to explore the ravines and woods off-trail. This was followed by the opening of a $1.5 million inclusive playground in April 2025, designed to accommodate children of all physical abilities. The nature center also underwent major renovations to include immersive, three-dimensional exhibits and a new butterfly house. Today, the park encompasses 653 acres, preserving a unique geologic and biological corridor amidst the bustling Westerville and Northeast Columbus area. **Map of the Park** Here is a map of [Blendon Woods](https://www.metroparks.net/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/BLN_map_Inclusive-Playground-and-Butterfly-Trail_May-2025_1980px.png). **Summary** For this event, we will hike the Lake View, Hickory Ridge, Ripple Rock, Overlook, Brookside, and Sugarbush Trails. This sounds like a lot, but it will really be only a little over five miles. Blendon Woods has a few hills here and there, but it's not one of the more strenuous metro parks. **Where We'll Meet** We'll meet just in front of the Nature Center. This is about a mile into the park from the main entrance. You have to go past the Ranger Station and the Shadblow Reservable Area to get to it, so don't stop too early at the Ranger Station and get it confused with the Nature Center. **After the Hike** Afterward, we will head over to [Forbidden Root Restaurant & Brewery](https://forbiddenroot.com/restaurants/columbus-ohio/) at Easton for [drinks](https://forbiddenroot.com/restaurants/columbus-ohio/#dinner-menu) and [food](https://forbiddenroot.com/wp-content/uploads/Cbus-Food.pdf). We should be there by 5 if you can't make the hike and just want to join us for drinks. The brewery's actual address is [4080 Worth Ave, Columbus, OH 43219](https://www.google.com/maps/place/4080+Worth+Ave,+Columbus,+OH+43219/data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x88388a86d10b6619:0x4d42b470a5cf11d3?sa=X&ved=1t:242&ictx=111); however, I recommend pointing your GPS to the [Worth Garage](https://www.google.com/maps/place/Worth+Garage/@40.0542293,-82.9137962,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m6!3m5!1s0x88388b4df6082825:0x17582f0eccd9dda1!8m2!3d40.0542293!4d-82.9137962!16s%2Fg%2F11rzfvvv8b?entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI2MDQxNS4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D) across the street. Parking in this garage is free as long as you're not on the first floor, and it is literally right next to the brewery.
