Szalay’s Farm and Market in the Cuyahoga Valley National Park

Szalay’s Farm and Market in the Cuyahoga Valley National Park

Visiting Szalay’s Farm and Market in the Cuyahoga Valley National Park Szalay’s Farm and Market is one of my favorite places to visit in the Cuyahoga Valley National Park. It’s quite a unique farm since it’s positioned within a national park. Because of its location, right next to the Cuyahoga Valley National Park Towpath trail, many visitors ride their bikes to the farm to spend the afternoon relaxing, eating and mingling with friends. You can always expect a big crowd and a…

Best Dog Friendly Activities in the Cuyahoga Valley National Park

Dog Friendly Activities Cuyahoga Valley National Park Cuyahoga Valley National Park, better known as CVNP, is a unique national park located in Northeast Ohio, covering over 51 square miles. What makes this park so special is its close proximity to urban cities like Akron and Cleveland with a “far from urban development” feeling. When walking the peaceful trails in the CVNP, it’s hard to believe the park is located roughly 22 miles from Cleveland and less than 10 miles from…

Buckeye Trail: Cuyahoga Valley National Park | Northeast Ohio Winter Hiking | CVNP In The Winter

Buckeye Trail: Cuyahoga Valley National Park | Northeast Ohio Winter Hiking | CVNP In The Winter

Today I’m very much so regretting that I thought conditions weren’t bad enough for microspikes. I hike in California for goodness sake. I summit mountains that tower over the highest elevation in Ohio. I don’t need microspikes I told myself. I’m an avid hiker I said, this will be a walk in the park. I changed my mind quickly when I fell behind my hiking group because I could barely walk on the iced covered trail and they were just…

What good is the warmth of summer without the chill of winter! -John Steinbeck Being born and raised in Ohio I can tell you that when the first snow hits you go through what I refer to as a honeymoon stage of your relationship with winter. The snow looks beautiful, you get a smile on your face thinking about fireplaces and hot chocolate, you even tell yourself that it doesn’t feel “that” cold. Well I’m happy to report that I’m…

NorthEast Ohio Winter Adventures | Exploring Cuyahoga Valley National Park in the Winter| CVNP Snow Day

Greetings from Winter Wonderland…or better known as North East Ohio. The first snow of every winter is just simply beautiful. There is almost no way to actually describe what the first snow of winter looks like, smells like, and feels like. It’s just so clean, so crisp, so pure and bright! But the novelty quickly wears off… remember snow only stays around when the temps are below freezing (that’s 32 degrees folks)..the salt and dirty snow gets on everything including but…

Visiting Stan Hywet Hall and Gardens

Visiting Stan Hywet Hall and Gardens

Stan Hywet Hall and Gardens is such an overwhelmingly peaceful estate sitting on 70 acres of pristine land in Akron, Ohio. You’ll feel as if you’ve stepped into the past when you visit this historical landmark. And if you’re anything like me you’ll be trying to figure out ways you can move in without anyone noticing!! (Unfortunately, this is all together impossible since the estate has daily tours in which visitors explore the house, but I can still dream!) I’m…
