Trail #5 Heritage Trail

Heritage Rails to Trails entry way in Hilliard, Ohio. This trail is almost 7 miles in total and actually ends up in another small town, but, we only walked about 3 miles or so.

Finally it has cooled down enough to actually start back on the trails again... It seems like it has been forever ago since we took our last trail. One of the nice things about this trail was it is close to us, pick it up from old Hilliard. A nice easy jaunt to get back in the swing of things.



It is kind of appropriate at this time because all too often you get sidetracked (especially me) from your goal, which currently is to walk all of the Metro Park trails. This little thing called life happens.... Kids go back to school, extra busy at work, way too hot outside .... the list goes on. But that is not the problem, because no matter how hard we try , things WILL happen. The problem is that it gets harder to start back up again. All it takes is that one time and then it is easier to say well I'll do it next week. That gets me on a regular basis. But we started again And that is what matters.

You too can be a statue!














Now about the trail itself: It is actually quite travelled. Bikes, runners, rollerbladers, walkers and dogs. It is very hidden considering the fact that it runs through town. Its also a lengthy trail that goes out to Plain City. From there you can pick up the trail to Yellow Springs.

It is lined on both sides with trees that provide nice shade and a good place for cardinals to live (which we learned on a previous walk) Some interesting plant life and check out the sunset! Will be a good trail when the leaves turn. (and if we ever got some snow of any substance good for a cross country ski trip.
