Description
The fourth edition of this popular guide describes 50 hikes and walks in and around Greater Cleveland. Hike descriptions and maps have been completely updated and revised to show current trails and surroundings; three all-new hikes have been added.
The hikes, for all levels of hiking ability, explore urban, suburban, rural, and woodland areas. Ranging from an easy one-hour walk to a challenging full-day hike, they take hikers to popular local destinations and many less well known locations.
Descriptions offer detailed historical, geological, architectural, and cultural background tidbits along with step-by-step trail directions—even directions for how to get there, where to park, and where to find restrooms.
New hikes in this edition include: Geauga County's newest park, The West Woods; East Cleveland's Forest Hill Park; and Mentor Lagoons Nature Preserve in Mentor. New hikes within existing chapters include Mill Creek Falls in the city of Cleveland and Viaduct Park in Bedford.
By the same author: Beyond Cleveland On Foot, a guide to 58 more walks and hikes in Ohio's Lake, Geauga, Portage, Summit, Medina, Lorain, and Erie counties (ISBN 1-886228-40-X / with Peg & Rob Bobel)
