The Columbus Metro Parks Winter Hiking Series is a great way for families to get outside and explore the amazing metro parks in the greater Columbus, Ohio area. There were 13 hikes in total that spanned the months of January and February with 1 to 2 hikes per weekend. Most hikes had multiple distances that you could choose, which made it very nice depending on skill levels. Each hike also had refreshments (soup, cookies, hot chocolate, or even a hot chicken sandwich) and that was a huge motivator for our family!
Now that the winter hiking series had been completed, we have received some questions on what was the best hike or which parks should we put on our list to see. From our experience, below are the top five that we would want to go an explore more.
Well, there you have it our top 5 parks from the Winter Hiking series. There are so many great things to see at all the parks and really something for everyone and very skill level. A small word of advice before heading out... we did some research on the parks and the trails to get an idea of the level of difficulty and amenities at the parks. This really helped the preparation and we were able to talk to the kids about the hikes and what they should expect. This small, but important detail, really made a huge difference! Happy Hiking!!
