October 14, 2015 we went for a quick little walk at Blendon Woods Metro Park before dinner. It is one of our closer Metro Parks, and yet, we don't visit nearly often enough. And we should, as it is spectacular. The entrance drive is amazing, this time of year especially. I forget how massive the trees are here, beeches, oaks and maples towering above you, reaching for the sky. And right now, the color is really starting to turn, fallen leaves are covering the trails and it is even beginning to smell like Fall.
We walked the Overlook, the Ripple Rock and Brookside Trails, for a whopping 1.75 miles, but exactly what we needed to decompress after work. If you do the rest of the trails available, I think we saw less than 10 other people during our walk, one of my favorite things about Blendon Woods. Even though the visitation to the park is relatively high, you often feel like you have the trails to yourself.
Fall is fleeting so get yourself outdoors!
