Description

Many changes have taken place in the decade since Follow the Blue Blazes used to be first published, changes in the trails themselves and in the way we hike them. The Buckeye Trail still wends its way around the state of Ohio, following the course marked out by the characteristic blue blazes on trees and signposts along the way. In the intervening years, on the other hand, sections of the trail have changed their route, added amenities, or just grown more interesting. From the startling rock formations and graceful waterfalls of Old Man’s Cave, to Native American mounds, battlefields, and scenic rivers, Connie and Robert J. Pond provide a captivating guide to ceaselessly-overlooked treasures around the state.

Each chapter features an overview of a 100-mile section of the trail and three self-guided featured hikes. The overviews and the accompanying maps is also read consecutively to acquaint the reader with all the course of the trail. But most readers will best enjoy the trail by taking the guide along on probably the most featured hikes. Each and every route is outlined on an easy-to-read map with GPS coordinates and waypoints to guide the hiker, in addition to explicit directions from parking lot to trailhead.

The Buckeye Trail is readily accessible from Cincinnati, Dayton, Toledo, Cleveland, and Akron. Even a short go back and forth can result in an adventure near your own backyard.
