Welcome back to my series hiking

Welcome back to my series hiking in Cincinnati, where Rocky and I explore and let you know if they're worth visiting. Today we checked out the trails at Alt Park. If you're anything like me, you've probably visited Alt Park several times without realising there are miles of hiking trails hidden throughout the park. Rocky and I were excited to finally explore them. We started on Shattuck Trail near Heiken Overlook and followed it for about half a mile until it connected with Cliff Trail. After another half mile on Cliff Trail, we made our way onto Forest Loop Trail, which is about a mile long. We also explored a few sections of other trails along the way. In total, Rocky and I hiked about three miles. The trails wind through the woods and down to a creek in several areas. Despite being located within one of Cincinnati's most popular parks, the trails feel surprisingly secluded and the scenery is beautiful throughout the hike. Most of the trail is dirt and some sections can get pretty muddy. There are also frequent elevation changes that can make parts of the hike challenging. Thankfully, there are several bridges and staircases built into the terrain system that help make the terrain easier to navigate. By the end of the hike, Rocky and I definitely good workout. We enjoyed these trails so much that we'd love to come back and explore more of the routes we missed. If you're looking for a moderately challenging hike with great scenery, creek views, and plenty of elevation, I highly recommend checking out the trails at Alt Park.
