Morning Has Broken at Seymour Woods (optional pancakes at Hills Market)

Six years ago when we were deep into COVID I was leading hikes for HikeOhio. One Saturday morning I scheduled a bright and early hike at Seymour Woods - Morning Has Broken. Ten people were signed up (you remember the limit) and I knew people were looking forward to getting out. Early the morning before my younger sister passed away. She had Down Syndrome and was the purest of souls. I didn't know what to do about the hike but ultimately decided to proceed as people were looking forward to it and I knew time in the woods would be good for me. It was just what I needed. This became the first of an annual event for the groups I have hiked with since then. Morning Has Broken is a hike for people to come and remember their loved ones that have passed, a time to reflect, a time to share, or a time to walk quietly. Seymour Woods is such a tranquil and serene place, quiet, peaceful. The fallen leaves - often a brilliant yellow - are such a calming reminder to me of the cycle of life. We'll go about two miles. It is at your own pace (it's a loop) but definitely not a speed walk. It is flat but I suggest poles as leaf cover is heavy and roots are abundant (this is where I tore my glutes two years ago). Ironically two of the women who were there six years ago have become my dear friends and are now part of this group. It is a relatively brief hike so you have the remainder of your day. Nearby Hills Market has $5 pancakes for anyone who wants to partake.

Hike Sharon Woods, 17-20ish pace

Dog Walk at Franklin Park Conservatory

Dog Walk - come enjoy the beautiful grounds at Franklin Park Conservatory with or without your dog! We’ll meet on the path near the entrance. Paths are paved and nicely maintained but sunny! The loop I take is approx. 2mi around. There are plenty of shortcuts back if that’s too far or we can take it twice if the dogs are up to it. Please keep all dogs leashed as per park rules, thanks!
