welcome to my series hiking in Cincinnati

welcome to my series hiking in Cincinnati where Rocky and I check out local trails and tell you if they're worth the visit our first stop is Redbird Hollow in the village of Indian Hill the trail is about two miles one way and follows a wide gravel path Rocky and I ended up only walking three and a half miles because we turned around before we've reached the end and the hike took us about an hour and 15 minutes this is a very easy trail with almost no elevation gain making it perfect for a casual walk the path follows Redbird Hollow Creek and there are several side trails that lead down to the water during our hike we saw families playing in the creek and people searching for fossils one thing you should know before visiting is a lot of people walk their dogs off leash here Rocky is very friendly and doesn't mind dogs running up to him but if your dog isn't comfortable with this this may not be the trail for you the trail follows the route of an old railway that operated here over 100 years ago it's a protected nature preserve and a peaceful escape into the woods if you're looking for an easy scenic hike near Cincinnati Redbird Hollow is definitely worth checking out
