Cuyahoga Valley National Park
Parim aeg külastamiseks
Late September through October for peak fall foliage, when the maple and oak trees paint the valley in crimson and gold. Early morning on weekdays offers the quietest trails and mist rising off the waterfalls.
Eelarvenõuanded
Entry is completely free, as are all park trails and programs. Parking at popular trailheads like Brandywine Falls fills fast, so arrive before 9 a.m. on weekends or use the free Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad for access.
Soovitatav
Hikers and waterfall chasers, Cyclists, Families with kids, Railroad enthusiasts

Teave
Kiired faktid: Rohkem kui 125 juga langevad läbi selle jõeoru, kusjuures Brandywine Falls langeb 65 jala kõrguselt üle liivakivikalju. Ohio & Erie kanali tähelepanuta jäetud lõik, mis ehitati 44 käsitsi kaevatud lüüsiga, kulgeb endiselt läbi pargi ja tänapäeval saate kõndida mööda selle veoteed.
Esiletõstmised: Sügaval metsas Stanford House'i lähedal seisab üksik plataanipuu, mille tüve ümbermõõt on üle 18 jala ja mis on kergelt 250 aastat vana. Pargirangerid ütlevad, et see oli juba võrse, kui George Washington oli president, kasvades vaikselt läbi kogu Ameerika ajaloo.
Sisekujunduse nõuanded
- Skip the crowded Brandywine Falls boardwalk and hike the less visited Blue Hen Falls or Buttermilk Falls instead for solitude.
- Rent a bike from Century Cycles in Peninsula and pedal the 20-mile paved Towpath Trail, which is flat and follows the old canal route.
- Board the Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad at Rockside Station for a narrated ride through the gorge with panoramic views impossible from the trail.
- Trekking poles or sturdy waterproof boots help on the Ledges Trail, where slick sandstone can catch hikers off guard after rain.
