Cincinnati Hikes Fox Preserve

My absolute favorite local trail: Fox Preserve! A while back, discovered this baby for Erin's Birthday Challenge where we were challenged to seek out a new trail. Me being the lazy muggle I was back then, chose the closest one. After trying to find an entrance (and possibly illegally parking on Kirby) I finally discovered this hidden trail. The beauty filled my soul with magic and turned me into the kilt brandishing druid I am today. Now I hope to show you all the arcane trail that sparked my journey. Here are some details: meeting in the College Hill Rec Center parking lot and going down Aiken HS parking lot to the preserve. It is roughly 3 miles with some great inclines. The last part will be in the dark so illumination is a requirement. I'll be doing a short grounding meditation excersize at the top of the ridge. Hitting up Brink Brewery after (you can bring food there but nothing served). Hope to see you there for this very special sunset hike 😁
