Virginia Kendall Ledges

The Cuyahoga (pronounced: ki ya hoga) National Park is located in North Eastern Ohio. The park was established as a way to help preserve the river of the same name which flows through it. The river begins in tributaries near Lake Erie east of Cleveland. It forms a "U" shape and is sometimes called Cleveland's "Emerald Necklace". In the national park valley there are dozens of recreational opportunities to enjoy. I am fortunate to live within a 15 minute drive to access to the lower part of the park. Best of all, all access is free!



As I set out to explore the different areas I find myself amazed at the natural beauty of the forests and wildlife that inhabit it. On my first time through any given trail I usually find myself keeping my camera in hand snapping shots of almost everything cool I see. I do this in an attempt to share the experience with my family back home who I hope will get a chance to come out here and experience this place for themselves.

Here are some pictures of my latest outing in to the park. I visited the Virginia Kendall Ledges area near Peninsula. What I saw was amazing and these pictures really don't do NE Ohio justice.

VIRGINIA KENDALL LEDGES


 Sunroofs are nice.

 Well over a hundred feet tall and about 4 feet in diameter.



Looking west from the ledge, sunsets here must be great.
